The 180 temp is typically considered the minimum for being completely warm. The ideal operating temp is likely around 200 or so. But I'm no expert.

All of this. You want the oil hot enough to evaporate out the condensation in it. Too cold is more of an issue than too hot these days, since modern synthetics are good up to 300 or so. Not that you'd ever want to see those kind of temps, but the car won't spontaneously combust at 250.
