Well, I'm not a professional mechanic or a petroleum engineer, but how the hell is 220 degrees "extremely" worrisome?? Hell, pre-cooler, I could hit that easily, and every high performance car I've had in the last 20 years could too. It's only 8 degrees above the boiling point of water, where we need oil to be to boil off h2o and other liquid contaminants......?? Not trying to sound like an a**, just can't see how that temp is freaking people out.
