Get it back and watch how it drives. Hopefully this resolves everything.

Yeah i agree keep an eye on oil temp...
imho if outside temp is 70 no way oil temp should reach 220 under normal driving...........

Got the car back and it drives fine. The dealer scanned the car and got the code P0340-Camshaft position sensor. They told me that one of the fuse had blown in the sensor? Even though the repair was covered under the warranty, I still can't not help thinking why the sensor failed on a car with only 23k miles.
As far as the oil temp, I will continue monitor it tomorrow.
