Before you do anything rash, get a little infrared pyrometer at Lowes, Home Depot, or the like and take a quick temperature reading on the inlet and outlet of your oil cooler (you just point and pull the trigger). That will help you get a double-check on the temperature of your oil just in case your gauge is giving you a false reading.
