It does it only if your engine is so hot that it soaks the air flow meter's temperature sensor, I highly doubt oil temp at 240F is enough to soak your engine by that much unless you are sitting still

I don't think it is pulling timing based on oil temps. I agree with that, but the car still feels and reacts very differently at 190* and 220* for whatever reason. I think it has something to do with the fact that the VVEL system is operated through the use of the oil. When Modshack did his oil cooler write-up back in 2009, he seemed to allude to this when summing up the research he did.

I don't think Modshack linked backed to the actual research items he found but they may be in that thread somewhere.
