Might be. I still would imagine that if you drive over 100 km/h during
summer for e.g. one hour, the oil temp should reach the 90 at least, which
is the coolant temperature level. Does your coolant temp reach the 90
degrees of Celsius? If it does, you should not worry about the oil temp. If
the coolant temp does not reach 90 degrees Celcius, your thermostat may be
faulty and does not close properly.
Regards,
Sami

At normal load -cruising at say 120 KM/Hr at normal temperatures, the oil
temp equals the water temp (90 celcius)
since it is heated and cooled by the water. At heavy laod or high temps, it
should read up to 130 or higher.
