To the OP: anything between 180-220 degrees is the optimal operating oil temperature. I have personally hit 240 degrees just sitting in traffic before I installed a oil cooler which is not ideal, even short spurts of spirited driving resulted in 270+ degree temps at which point oil becomes much thinner and not as capable to protect the engine.
Some have more of a problem than others, even in similar driving conditions however I recommend it for peace of mind alone as it can only help and you can be confident your oil temps will be controlled in any situation.
