Everyone with oil temp issues

A quick note on my last trip. I drove from Cincinnati to Atlanta for my high oil temps cure. Just after crossing the KY (not jelly) TN border on I-75 you begin a climb up a fairly hilly stretch. The ambient temps were 62-65F. Prior to this the oil temp was running at about 220F. Five minutes into the climb I was at 235F with the cruise on 70 mph.

Back to the latest topic of humidity. Has anyone tried a mister on a car with the oil cooler added? I used one on an inter-cooler once. The mister came on at a preselected boost level. It seemed to help but you needed a lot of water capacity for a hot day using boost on a frequent basis.

Final note: On the way back from Atlanta I had absolutely ZERO oil temp issues.
