An oil temp at 80 degrees celsius is not an overheat condition. More like the upper bound of a normal operating condition. You should be able to maintain that indefinitely. When you get to say 90C degree, there are usually operating limits that kick in, like 1 hour...etc. Then there are limits on cylinder head (e.g., temp 260C for minutes when you go balls out) were the limit is only like 5 minutes.

Consider, that most gauges show 'oil in' temperature... means, temperature of oil, that is already cooled down.
