Higher oil temp apparently has something to do with emissions.

From what I have read about some of the MPG contests, higher engine temps = better MPG. Something to do with keeping the combustion gases as hot as possible while in the cylinder for maximum efficiency. IIRC, ∆T and heat loss rate were thrown in there.
