I've been told by quite a few manufacturers that once you get to around 230F that you are in the red zone. We'll see what everyone else has to say.
thanks for your input.

Just as a reference, the Canton Mecca oil thermostat doesn't open to allow flow to the oil cooler until 215 degrees F. I've heard that the optimum oil temp for synthetics is somewhere around 220 to 230. Don't know if there is any truth to that.
On at 176F
Off at 140F
