Oil temp in new motor I have a new motor with ~ 400 miles on it. I have noticed that the oil temp is higher than it was in my old motor. Is this normal during break in? FYI I used mobil 1 or royal purple 5w30 before. I'm assuming there is dino oil in it now.
Oil temp gets up to about 190 or so. Before it was rarely over 175-180. It has awesome oil pressure as well.

My oil temp usually runs around 205 at steady highway speeds.
175-180 is too low actually, you won't effectively get rid of all the moisture from the oil with the temp that low, especially if you only do short trips.

Mine is also 28-29psi at idle once the oil temp is around 200F.
