I don't get worried until my oil temp gets above 240 or so (200-220 seems to be normal). As mentioned above, the car will protect itself when the oil temp gets to 260 or there about. The oil can take up to about 300 F.

I would hit 220-240 with spirited driving and once I installed the 25 row cooler I see 190-210 and 220 if I push her hard.

220F is not normal. It is freakin' hot. This has been discussed ad nauseam. Get an oil cooler! It is my next mod.
