210 and higher is getting pretty hot on our cars. Its not very good for the engine to run so hot. Either your thermostat is not opening all the way or something else is wrong (rating)? My car without a fmic sat at about 196 all year round, but I put the FMIC and cruising around with 1 stock fan it went up to about 206 to 210 without AC running.

I would use some water/waterwetter mix and lower the temps a bit. Your oil must be uber hot at 230 water temps.
