My Z sits at 220 as a BASE oil temp. Doing anything more than 6th gear cruising (5th gear cruising for example) will cause temps to hit 240+ in very short order. This is just cruising on the freeway. Forget any kind of sporty driving.

220 is my normal base temp as well, anything outside cruising along and up they go......... how hi depends on RPMs attained and for how long, as well as air flow and ambient temperatures. 260 is possible without breaking the law or driving recklessly.
