You should add @ 20* to what your guage is reading because the temp is taken before it enters the engine....so 240 is actually 260 or better. As JAR said, change your oil more frequently if you are running at high temperatures and you may want to adjust the viscosity of your oil as well. I live AZ and I run 0-40 oil and my temps seldom exceed 220. Even running hard! Also get an oil cooler, cheep insurance!
