I did a google search on "oil breakdown temperature", some
interesting reading.
This site http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/281441  >> says most oils
start to break down at temperatures above 260F. <<


There were other like numbers at some different sites. Is the "answer
bag" a reputable web site? Beats me ...  But if I was really
concerned I'd change the oil.
