Results from a recent 370z driving experience:

Oil temp = 250 F

Also of note, that oil temp of "nearly limp mode" is with a 25-row Z1 oil cooler.

In regards to the thread title... at what point does coolant no longer "cool"
I was under the impression that coolant boiling point was just a "skooch" higher than the boiling point of water.
