You're fine at 180, much better than 240. I believe there was some discussion about where the oil temp is actually measured, and how the temp gauge will read lower than the actual temp by a certain amount.

Also, even with the thermostatic plate some oil is still flowing through the cooler to prevent shock from cold oil suddenly being released into a hot engine.
