I don't watch it in mine either. My car gets driven longish distances at rpms exceeding 3000, plus beat on quite a bit. I change the oil every spring and it's always clean and in otherwise good condition. If I had to guess it probably runs 230ish on a hot day in the summer when the car runs about 195 on the coolant temp.
