I found that when I was last on the track, it was about 45-50 degrees out, and I was easily able to manipulate my oil temperatures. I did a few laps shifting somewhat conservatively (around 6k rpm shifts), and my temperatures stayed steady at about 200 degrees. The next lap I started shifting at between 7000-7500 rpms and I was getting up to about 225. If I went back to shifting a bit lower, temperatures quickly dropped back down to around 200 after like half a lap. I'll see if things work out the same this weekend, but with it supposed to be around 90 degrees, I have a feeling I won't see even close to as low temperatures and they won't come down as quickly either. I'm sure I won't have much issue keeping it around or below 240 degrees though.
