Yes you want to get your oil above 180 even in normal driving. If you are making quick trips obviously there is nothing you can do, but if you are in the car longer you really want to get those oil temps up above 180 for sustained driving. And you want the oil warm regardless of how long you're driving if you plan on revving the car at all.
