Just read this again for informational osmosis to take effect. Coupling this with Sandeep's response, I would assume him having a turbo is causing load.
Getting back to oil temps, I would love 200, 210 max. It takes quite a while for my oil temps to get to 200, but high speed highway driving over some distance has gotten me to 220-225. As I said, I will try the quick fix with the spring but I won't be penny-wise and dollar-foolish about taking other steps.
(BTW, my set-up is much more mild-mannered. I believe my engine is set up at an 8.3:1 compression ratio and is naturally aspirated.)
