This is what I am always afraid of when I'm tempted to "outsmart" the
professional automotive engineers who designed the stock system.

I don't know what "too hot" is where oil is concerned, but 220 F under
heavy load does not sound very hot to me.  I'd think that's surely
within the limits of any good conventional oil, to say nothing of
a synthetic such as Mobil 1.
