So temps at like 220 will cause this? This seems insane to me, it's 55 degrees here and I wasn't driving in a spirited manner (cruising on back roads at 45-55 in fifth/sixth gear), how can the oil temps get that high with such gentle driving? How can anyone drive this car in a spirited manner when its more than 40 degrees out?
EDIT: Last few months it's been 20-30 degrees, oil temps below 200. No issues.
