Leaving the dealer I was stuck in horrible surface street traffic. The oil temp well over 240 (not sure how much more, maybe 280). Once I got onto the freeway it went back down to 220 or so. The boost in oil temp seemed pretty extreme to me. It was cool (65 deg F) day and no sun.

The car had only 12 miles on it (has only 260 now). Is this a problem for new engines? Any experience with negative effects of high oil temps in the Z? I drive a touring with sport package and auto.
