Narrative:
After takeoff; the oil temperature on the right engine climbed from 80 degrees C to 100 degrees C. I decided to return as 100 degrees C oil temperature is the maximum. On downwind to runway 20; the oil temperature was 130 degrees C and climbing. I shut down the right engine and feathered the propeller. We landed without incident.
