maximum oil working temp?

as the title says,which is the maximum oil working temp?
in my evo 8 (reflash-full exaust-panel@1,7 overboost-1,5ct) at trackdays i always see 125-135 Celsius.Atfter that it is impossible to raise the temp,even if you have 20 laps more.Even when the day is too hot(ie 34-38 Celsius)
i use 5w40 motul 100% synthetic oil
what about yours?

ps.at a lot of europeans cars they have an oem oil temp gauge, the red line is at 140-150 Celsius.

links about max working oil temp useful.

thanks in advance.

I don't know about specific temps, but I would keep an eye on oil pressure... 5w40 may be too light for 20 laps... I use 0w-50 ENEOS, it pours like water but is so stable that it never gets thin

I personally have never seen my temps above 110*C. I will bring it down once it hits 100*C.
