Without the blockoff, a mid-december highway drive (especially at night) can suck the oil temps down to ~150-160 and hold them there.

You're going to want your oil warmer than 150-160. Staying closer to 200 is ideal and not exceeding 220 for optimum performance. Cold oil is worse for your engine than hot oil.
