On my LNC2 with an O-320 I have to close the oil cooler air door in the winter to see 170°s. Normally I run at 170 to 180°s. The highest that I have ever seen is 215°.

Regarding high oil temps: My mechanic said that he saw a production plane that the temps were so high on and that had everything done to lower them that the owner was going to rebuild the engine. The mechanic found that the vernatherm was not seating.

I don't know about Continental but he says that Lycoming has a special tool that can be obtained from them that will re-reem the vernatherm seat. This fixed the high oil temperature problem.
