Final of 3 reports for this oil fill. Kia Stinger, 1 track day, then ~3750 miles city/highway driving with approx 6-6.5 months total oil duty cycle. Changed the oil, although reports indicate 6k miles would be fine, so I may extend a bit next time.
Sampled at 1500 miles, that report is here...
I believe it has a small radiator-type oil cooler.
275F is an "upper range" guess, since Kia doesn't provide a way to read oil temp over the OBD2 protocol, just a dash-gauge with a "range" with 250 and 300 marked off and me trying to glance at it as I am running on the track. I'm usually...

Edit: I also read somewhere that QS might have more carbonization / valve deposits (IIRC) than M1, for example? M1 FS 5w30 / 5w40 also seems to meet 229.5?
