Oil and water are the two media by which the ENGINE is cooled.
Improving one (the oil) is going to relieve the other of some of
its cooling load, lowering its temperature.

An unintended
consequence of the lower oil temps, is that I noticed that my water
temps also dropped by about 10 degrees. In the past when cruising
around the temps would settle between 145 and 165 degrees, while today
it was between 130 and 135 degrees! So is there a thermo dynamic reason
why lowering oil temps would also pull down the water side as well?
