I think that 220 is normal for everyday driving. I've been through the factory fill, one round of Castrol GTX dino oil for 2k miles, and now I just switched over to Redline synthetic at 4k miles. It has the ester base oil. It seems to take a little longer to reach 220 now but that's still the normal operating temp for my car. YMMV
