So I have a 34 row oil cooler from z1 and have used 5w30 redline oil for the previous change and the most resent

Oil seems to rise in temp much quicker and stays hotter than previously granted the most recent temps are staying nearer to 180 going to 190

But before they hardly ever hit 180

I take the car drifting on the weekends and last time I went to willow springs it barely hit 200 and I had the track to myself on the 210 mile trip home the oil never went to 170

Now just driving 9 miles to work it reaches 180 seems strange idk if something was wrong before or wrong now hoping someone can shed some light on what's going on

I will say I did change the oil in the cooler as well even took the sandwich plate off and made sure everything was tight and secure (mainly just had free time and wanted to fiddle with it )
