Got to disagree on this one. I've got a 200 degree oil thermostat that keeps oil from the secondary cooler until it reaches that temp. The motor has oil squirters pushing oil on the bottoms of the pistons where the temps are way over pan temp. Boiling out H2O impurities with a turbo charged 20 to 1 compression ratio engine shouldn't be an issue. Whenever boost goes up, piston temps rise dramatically. At 5280' where I live, boiling is at 201 degrees and it's uphill most any direction we travel.
Just my way of looking at it,
Hal

You are creating a "water farm" in your sump leading to corrosion, and faster oil additive depletion. I'd take 250 over 200 any day especially with T6 Full Synthetic.
