Everyone with oil temp issues

I'm averaging 95 degrees outside and I'll be surprised if my car crosses 225 F even after prolonged drive. I say wait till your car has 4-5K miles (completely broken in) and switch to a good synthetic like Redline, RP, Amsoil etc. You'll have MUCH harder time bringing the temp up.
