It's not a break-in or oil type issue. More important to report would be your ambient temps, cruising speed and RPM, altitude, and A/C on or off.

Before my oil cooler, I could easily highway drive in the Midwest with temps at 210F even on an 80F day. But then immediately stop in traffic and that illusion quickly disappeared as airflow into the engine compartment became stagnant.
