[quote=nicknaz;12701673HerrK when you say:
"I've never seen over 255F running in 110+F ambient 255F running in 110+F ambient"
Are you talking HPDE use or cruising?[/quote]

Now that you've clearifed that a nice drive = HPDE = running at 4-7k revs for 40 minutes straight = high oil temp. Then everything is likely normal for your "nice drive". I'm hope you stay between the lines on your street HPDE - I hate it when cars cross the DY on the back country roads especially when I'm on my MC. I save my HPDE for Autocross or trackdays and yes the oil temps rise.

I don't particularly care to investigate the various 135/335 configurations those cars have two too many extra seats for my liking. I'll leave those for you to investigate. You can figure it all out here http://www.realoem.com
