that's pretty hot... mine stays around 170-180. make sure nothing is blocking the oil cooler. leaves etc. try cleaning it with some engine degresser or something.

Keep in mind you are measuring the oil at the oil pan, after it's been heated by the engine. Everyone else measures oil temps after the oil cooler but before the engine.

If you place it at the oil filter, then you are measuring temps right before the engine's block and passages.
Same principle with the water temp sensor. Before or after the thermostat plays a huge role on what temps you'll be seeing....
