I mean, it depends on what you're running. My uoa's have looked awesome even with 280 degree temps. But a lot of g37 guys have had oil breakdown issues on some synths even at 240.

While the oil issue is often overblown, it's worth paying attention to what you put in, and getting UOA's done regularly on a car like this.
