Yeah, I had a read around after seeing this thread and found the below post.

Oil Coolers and Over cooling

VERY useful to know - and I suspected as much too... basically, if you have an oil cooler the oil temp sensor is directly AFTER the cooler core, so the temp readings are about 20-or-so below actual in-engine oil temps. And that makes sense because I used to feel a big drop in power at about 225* before the OC, now I feel it at around 205. It was baffling me for the longest time but that MUST be why - the engine is basically 20* hotter than the gauge says.

Luckily most of the time, thanks to the OC, I rarely reach those temps anymore. And keeping the AC on actually helps keep engine temps down a bit too. But it's summer and I live in Vegas so it's always going to be an issue.
