EDIT: YOU'RE RIGHT, the oil temps are fake. More on that later on the thread.

I've heard the same, too, but in my experience, the oil temps kept climbing to 290s at the track while the coolant did not go above 220F (I do have a DeWitt's radiator). This tells me that the oil temps can not be calculated off of coolant temps since they have clearly diverged. Perhaps this was the case in earlier model years, but I know for sure that my '14 SS 1LE shows me the oil temps.

There is one issue, though: the display at DIC does not show above 266 degrees. The sensor still works fine, but to get the actual reading above 266 degrees, you need to read it from OBD II port. I do so using Torque App and a Bluetooth OBDII bung.
