I believe once oil temps hit 280 the car will go into limp mode.

I just bought a 09 Z, had to drive it 550 miles back home. Temps in Texas were between 75-80f... I was running 80-85mph most of the way, oil temp was anywhere between 200-220f. I got on it a couple times, hit 120mph when nobody else was around and temp got close to 240.

I would say for just street driving you would be fine without an oil cooler. Any track or spirited driving a cooler is a must. Or just buy one for piece of mind. I just ordered one so I can be done with it.
