There is nothing wrong with an oil temp of up to 220F, I actually prefer my oil temps between 210 and 220 for many reasons.
There is more to an oil selection than simply the temps they provide, go to the LN Engineering site and read the article on oils that I have been assisting Charles Navarro with for the past 20 or so months.
Some oils today are liquid death to our vintage engines, so far the only oils that I allow to be used in my engines are Royal Purple Max Cycle and Brad Penn. I have mandated the use of Brad Penn in all my engines built pre 2000 and post 2004 not running composite lifters.
More than likley the guys at Amsoil won't be of much assistance- they do not work with aircooled engines daily and don't know the differences our engines have compared to watercooled counterparts as well as they should- no oil company does.
