I bought an oil cooler from Z1. No more issues.

Your engine won't grenade because "limp mode" will cut power to ensure oil temps decrease.

Yeah, I got tired of hitting limp mode at the end of one lap runs on the track--that's what pushed me into the cooler. I never got to 290, but I probably passed 280 half a dozen times.

But honestly, for street driving I wouldn't have bothered.
