Just finished my most highest powered stint yet. Seems like you gotta do 120+ consistently to hit 260temp. Little worried because this was the first time I hit anything past

So I got it to 260 oil temp, did I break anything
Just finished my most highest powered stint yet. Seems like you gotta do 120+ consistently to hit 260temp. Little worried because this was the first time I hit anything past 220. Did I break anything, just changed my oil today.

Any decent oil will take 300F or better (the Z will go into limp mode before you get that hot). A short period (2-5 minutes) at 260 shouldn't be a big deal but I'd still change the oil/filter just to be on the safe side. YMMV
Check your coolant level and condition. You may have boiled off some coolant. If the oil temp was that high, the coolant temp was probably above normal also.

 An oil cooler will do wonders. But your car is fine. You will trigger limp mode with restricted RPMs before the car lets you do any major damage. I hit 280F on a track with no oil cooler after only three laps at full speed. I just made sure to change the oil when I got home. That was several years and over 30K miles ago.

It boggles my mind that VQ37HR runs such a high temperature for engine oil. Mine would easily run in the 220F while my LS7 wouldn't even touch 200F (likely hovering around 180-190F) for street use.
