Safe oil temp for shutdown?

my thinking is that the local oil temp IN the turbo is at least 30-40 deg F..
higher than the oil in the pan.
your (230-240F) + (30-40F) in the pan = (260-280F) oil temp in the turbo once the car is off.
(260-280F) is at or above the thermal breakdown temp of Mobil-1 synthtic oil. i.e. hello sludge and or coking...or at least degraded oil performance.
too hot IMHO.
