I just re-read your post and caught this part. There's your problem right there. You haven't even finished the break-in period. You're pushing it too hard considering how low your mileage is, IMO. These cars are known to run hot early on. The high oil temps, for example, were a very controversial issue earlier in the year when everyone's cars were still new with low mileage. What we've all noticed now that some time has passed is that as we put more miles on our engines, the temps drop. My recommendation is that you go easy with things until you complete the break-in mileage -- that's just my suggestion of course; you're free to do whatever you want.
