Short of sticking the car on a track, oil temps won't be an issue. Oil starts having issue around 350-400F - the bearings in the engine start to potentailly have issues at or above 300F. That's why Nissan put in a "limp mode" when it hits 260 and again with it hits 280 - not to protect the oil - but to protect the main bearings.
He wasn't at high rpms. 4k is low for the engine. It should not be doing that.
