Robert,

Thanks for the update. I believe the numbers you report supports an oil cooler for track days. On previous Porsches that I have owned they would have been parked with the oil at 230F. I saw a post from one of the top Porsche engine authorities and it showed engine wear as a function of oil temperature. Once you hit 220F the curve took a significant upwards climb. I'm not sure how that relates to newer engines.
