you mean oil temp? engine oil temp of 215degrees should be normal. 275 ok i can believe that but over 300 i'd be worried. oil pressure is between 40-80psi

In Canada they do not measure PSI. It's in N/kpa as I recall.

A doubling may not be that extreme, under a heavy load. Mine can go from 30 - 60 PSI pretty easily....

I would think so. Mine can fluctuate pretty rapidly, too, but the oil level is fine.
