What is the purpose of testing oil @ +450F? Do you want to see what happens when the oil drips on hot exhaust. If your internal engine oil ever reached +450F, your engine would be in worse condition then your oven. I am doubtful the engine oil would ever get over 350F, and if it did, then it would no longer be any good. Even going over 300 is not good for oil.
When it started to smoke, you should have pumped a large quantity of pure oxygen into the oven. That would have been cool!. We could have read about you on the news.
