Oil Starvation

I have some ideas: like check the oil pressure after turn X on the straight, RPM is usually XYZ so see if the pressure is the same each lap at that point. Or check the temp at a certain spot and make sure it is at or below a certain value.

What is a dangerous temp?

Thanks

As to max oil temp, a major factor is condition of the oil.
