IIRC the factory oil temp sensor is down stream of the oil cooler so the oil exiting the engine into the oil cooler would be 20-25 degrees hotter than the temp you see. IF that is the case it would put you at 180-190F which makes sense that the thermostatic valve be open allowing circulation. FWIW I just duct tape up a potion of my cooler in the winter.
