Ive never had a car with oil temps more than around 195°f but ive noticed in this car is always over 200°. It might be normal but as ive never experienced it before, i dont know. I live in south florida, and pretty much run on sport plus everything except dampers but i dont usually drive hard or go over 4k rpm. Just wondering what everyone see's as their oil temps and how they run the majority of the time

I'm located in Texas and warm/hot days, street-driving, it's not uncommon to see the car hit 220 and sit around there. On the track, it sits around 250.

It seems like it runs as hot as our diesel car does most of the time, which is disconcerting at times but the car seems to be fine.

The temps should get hot enough to clean the water out of the crankcase. It gets in there through condensation. Oil temps over boiling temp when on the highway are good.

200 is not hot for oil at all. Even 250 isn't too hot. Oil doesn't start breaking down until way above 250

Water can get into the oil two ways. You generally don't have to worry about one of the ways if you drive your car enough to burn off the water during normal driving. This drives off the moisture that simply comes from your engine breathing when it is not being used (cold air enters a hot engine and water condenses) and from combustion byproducts. The second more destructive route is through a coolant leak due to a bad gasket, an engine crack, etc. This amount of moisture is generally going to cause serious engine issues including loss of power, oil sludging, etc.

The temps you're seeing and experiencing are normal.
