Ya Know,
Any new vehicle you buy with an electric fan runs at 220 to 225 before the 
fan kicks on. 240 isn't that hot compared to 220-225...  Oil temp (without 
a blocked cooling jacket for the water...) will probably be within 10 
degrees or so of the water temp.  This has been the case since the 
early-mid 80's.
