    Your temps aren't hot enough.
    I'll run the fan and see what it does.

    31 at your temps. 33 at 180 oil degrees.

    Where is that oil temp reading from? And why is your coolant temp so much lower?

    Forgive my ignorance, my engine is yellow and old enough to drink for a few years now

    Oil pressure is fine, mileage and CEL is more concerning. Edit, looking at wrong picture. What year MX?

    It is fine at those RPM's, what is it @ 1500? Also most common thing I see for lower oil pressure on MX is wore out bearing in oil module for spinner filter or spinner cap bearing.
