I have to say, 260-280 is very high for a Group II-based oil (conventional). Those kinds of sustained oil temperatures are the reason we have synthetic oil available anyway. After looking at UOA reports on Nissan Ester Oil on normal change intervals, it would be kind of scary to push 260-280 degrees on an oil with relatively low viscosity at temperature. That said, 260 degrees is nothing for an excellent Group IV or V-based true synthetic oil. Using a good oil will net you some peace of mind, at the least.
