Normal oil temperature

I think I have asked this before, but maybe not. I can't recall all the responses. What is the normal oil temperature for a 280C hovering in 80 degrees and 80% humidity? My GEM starts flashing at 230, but stock gauge isn't anywhere neer red. Does the GEM need to be adjusted so it isn't flashing at that low temp? Also has anyone had experience with the Airwolf Chiller, a set of cooling fins for the oil filter. I think a lot of the benefit depends on airflow so how can I get more airflow to the front of the engine? The other Airwolf option is to install the remote oil filter adapter and place the oil filter in a cooler location. Suppose to get 30 to 60 degrees of cooling and a lot more efficient than the auxiliary oil cooler from Enstrom.
