i just recently hit 1200 miles on my 2012 sport package Z. is my first Z also my first MT car.
last sunday i drove the entire day, literally a whole gas tank plus another half was driven. i also was pushing the hell out of the car. i noticed my oil gauged was above 220F. i read that that oil temperature should be around 180-200F.

i would like to know if is normal for the oil temperature to be above 220F.
what can happen to the car if oil is overheating?
