Traditionally, when an engines oil ran too hot we put in a bigger oil tank, one of the good features of dry sump engines. But this engine is wet sump, and only has about a 1 1/4 quart oil capacity. That is barely enough oil capacity to get the job done. So the only solution that comes to mind is synthetic oil, which does not break down as easily at high temperatures.
