[QUOTE= ... I understand 220 degrees temps are fairly normal but not in the current NY weather of 30-40 degrees F and also driving casually.[/QUOTE]

I live in the SF Bay area with winter temps in the 50s during the day. I'm seeing 200 deg F average temps with 220 deg F max with just casual driving around. When that happens I try to get into a higher gear at lower RPM and turn on the heater full blast with a window open to bring down the oil temp. My car is a 2019 6MT sport coupe. I may go with a thermostatically-controlled external oil cooler later.
