I picked up my 2013 6mt-spt a few weeks ago with 1.6k mi on it. The dealer probably changed the oil just before pickup because there was a new service sticker in it. The first few drives I distinctly remember hitting 220 on oil temps.

At 1.8k I went ahead and made the change to Mobile 1 full syn which
will be the normal oil. After that I am about 90% sure the oil temps run cooler. It has never hit 220 and has been well below that as far as I have seen. Maybe I am missing something but that's what it seems like right now.

I can't speak to the performance issues in the thread, but in my case it sure seemed like full synthetic helps temps.
