Ernest. My oil temp generally runs 10C degrees cooler than the coolant temperature. This is actually very desirable as the oil red line is 210F while the coolant can go much higher. Also it will take longer for the oil to heat up than the coolant as it's thermostat is activated at 140F degrees allowing flow through the cooler, while the coolant thermostat is usually at 180F, if you have one installed. Having said all that, I am currently using my oil cooler exhaust air for cabin heat just because it was easier to do, since the oil cooler is mounted to the firewall and has its own fresh air inlet and outlets.
