As for your oil temp., it will continue to rise if you are just idling with no airflow. Oil cooler or not.
So 80F outside, you drove on highway till oil temps around 200 and then idled for xx minutes? What did you think will/should happen?

First time it happened coolant temps reached over 240, temp gauge on the dash was just at the dot before red... haven't let it reach that high again at the risk of damaging the engine..... the Z never exhibited this behavior before i had a dealer swap out the engine coolant for the first time in my ownership of the car, more than likely just a coincidence. I've tried flushing and burping the system multiple times since then and even had it vacuum filled but no luck there, kept on getting told possible head gasket issue from different members on the forum which is why i had a leak down and compression test done on the engine which came back with a clean test. Car cools itself off fine even when idling so long as I'm not using the AC, hasn't been a high priority for me since i have another car that the AC works fine on that i can use on hot days so this has been put on the back burner for quite a while
