I have @ 17,xxx miles on mine (sport w/ manual) and the hottest I've seen the oil get was 235-240 cruising at 85mph in 100 degree heat. The temps range from 190 in the winter (35-55 degrees) to 210-220 crusing the country in the summer w/ spurts of speed (redline 2nd and 3rd). Your temps may be a little higher than mine at first, but will normalize after the engine has worn-in. Use a quality synthetic and have fun. No need for a cooler unless you live in the extreme South. I live in eastern NC where the temps are mild to hot/humid (June-August).
