I also thought it was around 80 degrees but a problem I am working through suggests otherwise.

Wine improves with age.
The older I get the more I like it

Martin gear oil will take more than 100C. What you are talking about is the viscosity at 100C.

I think it will take 130 C to 140C but will try and find that for you.
