If you see 240 on the oil temp gauge, you can be sure the engine is already pulling timing. Expect actual oil temps to be about 20 degrees higher than the gauge. There are several levels of limp mode based on the temps. The last one is triggered around 280F actual oil temp and restricts RPMs to 3500.

CSC is a ticking time bomb. It will fail eventually. Best you can do without replacing it is hope you don't get stranded somewhere.
