I had my car on the track this weekend as well. I have the Stillen oil cooler kit and it seemed to do the job well. Ambient temperatures were around 98F at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL. The temp indicator in the car got as high as 103F but I'm not sure if that was right. On the track, the oil quickly heated up to 260F but never surpassed this point. I pushed the car hard for 4 twently minute sessions on Saturday and Sunday and never had any problems. The oil still looks brand new (Mobil 1 5W30 synthetic) and I never had any limp mode issues. From talking with other drivers of other cars, temps around 260-270 are typical. The oil cooler works, too bad it didn't come on the car...
