to add productive things to this thread.

Spearfish, WITH an oil cooler saw oil pressure over 100 psi before his oil temps reached 180 on the gauge. The oil temps in the engine at that time are about 190/200.

Yeah, I had a read around after seeing this thread and found the below post.

Oil Coolers and Over cooling

VERY useful to know - and I suspected as much too... basically, if you have an oil cooler the oil temp sensor is directly AFTER the cooler core, so the temp readings are about 20-or-so below actual in-engine oil temps. And that makes sense because I used to feel a big drop in power at about 225* before the OC, now I feel it at around 205. It was baffling me for the longest time but that MUST be why - the engine is basically 20* hotter than the gauge says.

Luckily most of the time, thanks to the OC, I rarely reach those temps anymore. And keeping the AC on actually helps keep engine temps down a bit too. But it's summer and I live in Vegas so it's always going to be an issue.
