Pretty much what Chuck said. By changing the thermostat the radiator will be fully flowing at a lower temperature, but the electric fan still wont kick on until 213F. At highway speed you have enough airflow to make the fan largely irrelevant, but at lower speeds it might be useful to have them kick on a little earlier.

I assume this was auto-x style course instruction? Usually the pace of those is such that you don't really have a temperature issue unless you do back to back to back runs, plus the 2012's have the factory oil heat exchanger at least.
