Totally agree Chris. I bought my car in end February and temparature outside was a lot colder (50s) than it is now. Despise the cold temparature, I had noticed oil temp climbed very easily during my break in period (upto 2500 miles IMO). Then, as everything was broken in, car was a lot stable and oil temp would not rise as quickly. Some of the other members also seen this behavior.
