new car, oil temp problem ??

That sounds normal for the 2012 and up cars with the factory oil cooler/heater. They are cooled by coolant so in the summer that provides some cooling and in the winter it will heat the oil.

I have a 2012 too and it would run around 195-220. When pushed it saw 230.

Yeap, sounds normal to hit 220. If you get over 230, then it should be in high heat/spirited driving conditions.

i had a 2013 touring sports automatic in the summer and my temps never went to 220 unless aggressively diving, now i have a 2014 touring sports 6mt and its winter time so you sound about right. it heats up quicker.
