Not true, if that were the case water would almost never evaporate. Ever make a cup of tea, it will steam well before it boils. The minimum you need is about 65C or 150. Natually warmer than that is better but you certainly dont need it over 212. Jerry is correct that the
oil will be hotter than it actually reads on the gauge but if your oil temp is reading 120C on your gauge you have a problem.
