Look into any serious engine builder and ask if 300 degree oil is good.....the optimum temp for oil is about 210 degrees.

Optimum may be 210 but it doesn't mean you can't drive it safely at 220 -230
I agree, I think 300 is way too hot, but 220 - 240 doesn't sound as bad as many people make it out to be on this forum. I'd like to get my temp down to 200-220 and as soon as I can afford a front oil cooler I'm going to go for it.
