Anyone rocking a remote oil cooler t-stat?

I've had M1 15w50 up to ~250f. no pressure problems, but it made me a little nervous.

I run ONLY redline synthetic. as far as temps I am so far beyond stock it is not a fair comparison so I will not comment

Synthetic will be fine at 260, dino oil may not be.

For oil? Anything above 100C I'd keep an eye on and 120 is where a 50-weight oil will be severely in trouble. 100 is 212, 120 is 250.

Really? Corrado folks run at like 260 (126C) on the track and its a non-issue with them...

So what kind of synthetic oil do you recommend?

*EDIT* sorry my gauge is in Fahrenheit.

I ordered a Mocal unit today to run with my IE adapter cap. Just curious to see if anyone else has done this and what the oil temps are like.

Taking the car to the track on Friday and want to make sure temps are in check. I will be switching to synthetic before track day as well. What kind of oil temps should I expect to see out on the track? 230-260?
