new car, oil temp problem ??

The VQ runs between 220-240 under mildly spirited driving in normal weather. Limp mode kicks on between 270 n 280

If your car is just sitting its gonna heat the oil up cause there is no air flow until the cooling fans turn on to cool it . now i dont know if the newer ones have the same thing mine does where the ecu pulls power the hotter it gets . but 220 is not bad temp wise for the oil . when mine gets that hot i feel a noticable diff in power .
