I think a lot of people saw their oil temperatures drop after a couple of thousand miles. I think this is an indicative indicator that the break-in is complete and that the tight parts (rings etc) are no longer generating as much friction and subsequently, heat. Redline is a good oil no doubt, just saying it may not be the sole reason you saw a temperature drop. My temperatures have dropped and I'm on my second batch of Nissan Ester.
