A lot of this depends on airflow to the radiator, because the oil is water-cooled via the radiator. So regardless of speed, if you have a bunch of traffic in front of you blocking good clean airflow, it's going to lead to higher oil temps. So if you're driving at a decent clip with not very much traffic on the Interstate, your oil temps will be significantly lower than they'd be if you were driving at a relatively pedestrian pace on backroads doing a test drive.
