    Shouldn't matter unless it's closer to mountains than hills.

    Did you try hitting the guage? My old gauges get hung up, once in a while. A few hard taps with the fingers or hand, snaps then back in place. But oil cooler, would be my prime suspect. I think oil should be 20 degrees hotter than coolant, normally.

    If you used stop leak in the radiator the oil cooler is most likely now plugged/restricted this resulting in your high oil temperatures as there is no/low coolant flow In the oil cooler.
