Funny.. mine gets there all the time the way I drive.. lol
Around town my oil temp is fine.. it's only when really flogging that it goes up and I need a cooler.
heck, at Optima I think it hit 260-270 with Dave.. the year before (no cooler) it almost hit 300.
To be honest, if you're running synthetic, 215 is a good temp..
