I think in general, oil temp over 260F is bad. Personally, I wouldn't want it going over 230F.
At what coolant temp do the fans kick on? On my Nissan, they kicked on at 212F and turned off at 204F.

technically you need atleast ~212F (boiling point of water) to burn off the water. However that's just where it starts to boil so I would venture 220+ to be actually useful. I remember BMW said dangerous oil temps were 280F where failing point was 300F so that's what I go off of since Honda has never said anything on the matter.
and I think besides i have seen that most analog oil temps go up to 300F or so.

i see 5 bars only for a few seconds just as the fans start.
and aslo right now its very hot here it can get up to 95F in the middle of the day and 60-70% humidity.
but what about the oil temp?
my father drives a turbo diesel vw touareg and he have a oil temp gauge there and it never pass 212F.

Fans on at 200-205 and shut off at 190-191 as per my external water gauge (not using the OEM water gauge)
My fans come on at 187F and shut off at 180F
I am still running your map in my EMS. (just so I can move her in and out of the garage)

Are you using the modifry ECT fix?
5 bars (205-220) is perfectly normal with the ECT fix for the AEM EMS.
