I'm pretty sure that isn't right. Have you checked your oil level ? What grade are you using ?
Perhaps I should first ask about the circumstances by which you atttained that temperature reading.

NO!
I've never seen mine that high even on track days with 100deg temps!
Are you running dino oil? What are/were you doing when it was this hot? Was the coolant normal when your oil temp was this high? Maybe it's a bad gauge?

Really? We did a club drive last summer in 100°+ ambient temps, with runs over 100 mph ...
... and nobody I know of hit oil temps like that. The group had a mix of stock and modified (chip, exhaust, etc) and we did some pretty hard runs in hot weather. We even radioed back and forth on this very subject, sharing gauge readings, and most were between 240° and 250°.
