Planning on doing a homebrew oil cooler and DIY similar to ModShack but with braided lines, but have noticed a sharp, consistent rise in my oil temp since the change.

Before the change I would run at 200F all day, maybe up to 210-215 when pushing it hard. Now on the full synthetic I'm consistently running around 210, getting up to 220-225 under higher revs.

I'm not super concerned since I plan on adding a cooler in the next month or so but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something major here - or if any of you have experience with this after the first change.

Oil levels are good, haven't seen or smelled any burn-off, everything else seems to be copacetic - any ideas/advice or am I just being overbearing?
I'm always at about 200 after a trip down 45 to work. After a full day of driving its about 220. You'll be fine.
