Where did you get this from?

If you kept the motor at redline with oil temps exceeding 280 F, you'd possibly risk some damage, but even there, you'd probably be okay given how well modern oils hold up against shearing under high temps.

In any case, over 260, the ECU goes into limp mode to prevent damage from happening, so it's not even an issue.

This has been discussed before, but in short 180-220 is ideal, 230 -250 there may be a little loss of power, but still safe, over 260 is not ideal, let it cool down.

Oil coolers should only be considered a necessity if you track your car.

Finally, running hard when the oil is too cold is not good either. 150-160 is good bare minimum temp to really start romping on it.

I swear there's an echo in here
