Any codes?

That all changed after the thermostat, I'm right at 200 every time regardless of temps outside now.

I am also SC and I have an intercooler blocking the oil cooler. Try changing your thermostat and see if that helps. I don't think a few bent fins are a big issue.

No codes. Thermostat was replaced when the whole cooling system was refreshed.
Looking at the invoice: 4 O rings, water hose, water pump with metal impeller, thermostat, bmw blue antifreeze, ac belt, drive belt, brake fluid with SRF... back in April of 2018 at Trinity Autosport....3 years ago.
Could a thermostat go bad that quickly ?
Going to switch back to BMW's 10W-60 for the next oil change.
