It's really just a function of wear, that you need to be worried. Oil lubricates optimally in the 180-230 degree range, give or take. Less than 180, and the oil can be too viscous and cause wear on your parts. Too hot, the oil loses it's ability to properly lubricate, and becomes too "loose". You want to keep it around 200, ideally.
