Racing Beat recommends maximum oil temp into the engine
210 degrees. What determines this temperature, the oil
scraper rings? Something in the engine itself? (I don't have
the book in front of me). Would Mobil One allow you to
run higher oil temps (even though you may not want to)?

One important consideration is that power goes down quickly with increased oil temps. Increased rotor temps and a smaller charge being trapped because of the excess heat of the rotor face.
