But wait, doesn't the temp of the oil mean that your engine is running too hot? 
and
the cooling system is the culprit? I think you shouldn't get your oil that hot 
to
start with, maybe invest in a more efficient cooling system. Oil is for
lubrication, water is for cooling. I don't thing one should do the others job. 
Then
again, maybe I'm wrong....
