Haven't tracked the car yet, but if I do, I'd seriously consider getting an oil cooler.
ive seen temps above 240 but not 280 when limp mode comes on, and it comes with an oil cooler maybe its not enough? and ive seen 220 alot in traffic i try to get around someone it just gets up their not really pushing it just going to 4-4.5k rpm for a burst of speed and then back to cruising in 6th gear or back to neutral depending on driving situation i'll look at it closely tomorrow on my way to and from work. i'll be to give more of an exact number and maybe the oil change to motul will keep the temps down as well but i'll see
