Narrative:

After departing; while going through the after takeoff checklist; I noticed that the engine oil temperature was abnormally high. I brought it to the attention of my first officer who was the pilot flying. After discussing the oil pressure limitations we decided that the best course of action was to return. Since I was pm (pilot monitoring) I turned the aircraft and radios over to the first officer (pilot flying) and called dispatch; the flight attendant; and passengers; to let them know that we were going to return to the airport. Once back on comm 1 we were already getting vectors back to [the airport]. We continued to monitor the engine oil temps and pressures to ensure they remained with limits. The oil pressure remained high for the duration of the flight. Flight terminated with no further incidents.
