Awesome car. This thing regarding high engine oil temps has me concerned though. So i checked and diwscovered that oil temp of 220 is normal. Therefore would you not expect oil temp to rise a little bit in heavy traffic or track driving. Just wondering if this is being overhyped. Additionally you could use full synthetic oil like redline, motul etc.

I'm at somewhere around 4200 miles now, on Motul 300V, and I'm still seeing some scary temps (260 without trying *too* hard on the street). The easy fix is to keep the RPMs down and not drive like a maniac. However, I don't think that's the fix I'll be using in the long run
