Just b/c I have an oven that can cook things at 500 degrees doesn't mean I should do it to everything I stick in it.

If you know anything about oil, you will know that oil are actually more efficient at higher temperatures. As long as the engine is built with high tolerances, it shouldn't be a problem running at 200-250F temperature. It's just a by-product of emission and superior oil now compare to 50 years ago.

The Corvette guys been complaining about it for years, people just need to calm down.
