I had to really work the car to get the oil temp to hit 220 - it pretty much stayed at 210 the whole trip. At the end of the trip you end up in Lake Elsinore where the outside temp was 93, and the oil temp dropped down to 200 and then rose back up to 210.

Moving at highway speeds and RPMs under 4k won't lead to problems. If you did that drive, revved to 6k a few times and then immediately slowed to 5-10mph stop and go driving...you'd be a believer in the oil temp problem.
