Do you think there may be an issue and if so, should the dealer know what to do ???
2) Will be coming up on first oil change, is switching to Mobil 1 beneficial ? Will it let oil run cooler ?
I appreciate any input as this is my first import sports car and I need to learn lots ...

You mean oil temps? Right?
When I first read this. I was wondering if you had installed a water temp gauge.
Since the OP has a 2019 with the factory heat exchanger. Those temps appear to be normal for where he is located at. If you see oil temps around 240. Then I would add an oil cooler. If you have plans on driving hard. GET a 34 row cooler from either FI or Z1.
I use Mobil 1 0w-40 Euro fake dino piss since I bought mine back in 2011.
