Default Help me! Engine oil problem!!

My baby has been running on QuakerState Horsepower synthetic oil(5W30) so far, i paid $105 canadian dollar for 5 liters(60) of oil + oil filter(15) + labour(30) cost at autoshop.
Unfortunetly, i think this oil gets very hot(even while i'm driving like a grandma, oil temp guage hits 250F easily.) much too quickly than the stock oil from Nissan.
The temp at my area is nearly 90F everyday. Also, if i drive like an ***, oil temp gets even hotter than 250, then i can see somekind of black power on the dipstick.
Is this mean oil got burned?
I thought every single synthetic oil has better resistance on heat than the stock ester oil... Should i drain my engine oil and change to another one?
Does anyone have an experience of using Quakerstate synthetic oil on your car? Do you have any recommendation on engine oil?
Plz help me!
