OP. Within operating temps is the goal, regardless of ambient temp. Get the oil cooler and stop writing/worrying about the subject.

The delta temp between your oil and ambient is 150-160deg F. Just fine.
My range (we probably should be quoting differences in temp between oil and ambient instead of absolutes) is 140-160deg F., depending on driving conditions. While I seldom break 230deg here in SoCal, a 100deg day come summer may get me a little apprehensive...
