I recently tracked my car on 2x 90-ish degree days, and oil temps never crested 240, and there was never a limp mode code. I was pushing the thing, too (6.8k shifting), all with 175k miles on the clock
Is there a chance you have a photo of this? Very interested, but can't seem to find any good images of the parts involved.
Those are the two best pictures. I can get all of the part numbers if you need, but a Google search for N52 Oil Cooler retrofit will yield a few results.
