I think it's a great video showing concern about the oil temperature.

The car wasn't even pushed over 5K RPM and the temp got that high. Even at constance 4K RPM it shouldn't be a problem.

I took a 997 Turbo on track (yes, different car), went around 10 laps; and the oil temp was... 90 Degree (194 Fahrenheit). And I could even put my hand on the intakes.

Yes, it's two different car, but my point is, cruising at 4K RPM shouldn't have oil up to 220 Fahrenheit.
