230 seems to be normal for me on warm days. It can get as high as 250 or higher if I'm driving spiritedly on a hot day. I wouldn't want to run that hot for very long but shouldn't be a problem for most DDs. Most oils can handle up to 300 (on paper, anyway) but I'm not sure where it starts being a problem for the engine.
