I used to hit 230-240F when driving aggressive on the highway in 90-100F weather. Last oil change I went synthetic 5w-30 and it seems to have helped keep oil temps in check. I've driven in 95F weather spirited and have yet to crack 230F. Anyone else notice this. Also it seems most of these higher oil temps are on the 6spds.

I will say that lugging the engine AT ALL, greatly heats up the oil. Now, I can only speak for the AT, but I'm sure you get the same consequence with the MT if the gear isn't quite optimal for load/road speed.
