I didn't see where the OP said his oil temp was 212 deg. The photo posted is not the OP's. I did notice the oil pressure in that pic seemed kind of low. Never seen mine below 29 psi.
I've never seen my OP under 30 - even when the engine temp hit about 230. Oil temp stayed reasonable and the oil pressure stayed right up there. For pressure to drop, the volume had to be not keeping up with flow - or the oil was so "thin" it was leaving the smallest of openings faster than the pump could keep up. My understanding is that it's regulated at about 31 at lower RPM - normally a pump puts out more than enough volume to exceed that pressure and the relief or regulator valve opens keeping it at the desired pressure. For it to be lower - something was less than good. The pump should put out enough volume to more than keep up - enough to open the relief or regulator valve and dump the excess. The pressure lower than 30 sort of tells me, at least in more conventional systems - the pump couldn't keep up. Oil so hot it was thin enough to get out before pressure could build. Pressure is over-simplified as pushing a volume against a resistance. Either the resistance was very low or the volume wasn't there.
I was able to diagnose a bad alternator bearing by how hot the end of the axel was.
Oh shoot. I have to go back to the beginning. If that's not the OPs. Then knowing his oil temp at the time when his coolant was at 250 would be a good thing to know.
Thanks for the tag here, RiverMtnBeach. We can certainly assist anyone experiencing concerns. Feel free to reach out to us in private message to get started.
Thank you I flushed the entire coolant system and replaced the radiator it seems to have worked
Yes, but often it will log that and trigger a MIL.Does this look like a faulty sensor? Itās been overheating on and off this week. Itās with my dealer now. Monday on my drive home it got up to 267. I pulled over and shut it off. I looked under the hood and didnāt see anything off, no steam or any kind of heat coming off the engine. Iāve been monitoring it closely and the coolant temp will fluctuate wildly, by as much as 30 or 40 degrees in any direction. Meanwhile the other temp readings are all stable.
I asked my service rep and he said just because the oil temp was fine doesnāt mean itās not overheating.
My coolant temp pegged at 419Ā° one time for several seconds, I knew it wasn't over heating. It went back to normal right after, I put a scanner on it and didn't have any codes. It's been over a year now and haven't seen it again.Does this look like a faulty sensor? Itās been overheating on and off this week. Itās with my dealer now. Monday on my drive home it got up to 267.

Wow, 419 would have burned the oil. Plastic parts would start to melt.
Here's the pic, it's was over a year ago. I just shut off the engine right before the pic so that's why the oil pressure is going down. Did not throw a code and never happened again. Crazy.
