I see you live in NYC, but the temp here in Houston, TX is completely different & gets a lot hotter here in the summer due to the humidity. In the end it really just depends on how you are going to drive your car. Yes if one was to drive all effen day & drive hard & go through 1 1/2 full tanks of gas, then your oil temp will get high, but not over heat like a SOB. If your oil temp was to get in the high 200's or low 300's, then I would worry. I can drive for about 40 mins on the highway & be in 6th gear & my oil temp is b/w 180-190 due to the crazy humidity here in Houston.
