A lot of people don`t realise that an engine will not be at it`s most efficient if it runs too cool, modern synthetic oils work best at their optimum operating temperature.
Saying that all oils, even older mineral grades are at their best between certain operating design temperatures too.
Many forms of race prepared engines monitor oil temperature for that very reason and modifications may be carried out to try to gain optimum operating temperatures. Getting the maximum achievable BHP and torque from those race motors is paramount after all.
