I've seen people say numbers as high as 275F (or even 312F at the TC) to nothing higher than 180F. So does anyone have hard numbers from an MSDS or product whitesheet from either Toyota or Valvoline or WS equivalent? I pulled off the road to take a call the other day and forgot to put the runner in park. After the call was done, I looked down and saw 202F after about a 20min. phone conversation. I get it, no air flow no cooling, torque converter at full stall - massive amounts of waste heat... but to me this proves the 180F max number isn't it. I drove on and things came slowly down. But I'm just wondering if some of the charts are based on old data or non-synth formulations.

Google Valvoline ATF, if you can't find your answer there call them.
