Most specifically, if the intercooler is in front of the oil cooler or not. Your headers are definitely going to add heat to the oil pan.

AS above, my intercooler is behind the oil cooler.
Here is a picture of my engine bay:

12psi at idle is not a problem (factory rec at least 15psi/1K rpm from memory), my car idles (700-750rpm) at pretty much the same pressure with 0W20, about 95C 18C ambient air  |
I am in Victoria, but this is occurring on cold nights too (8 degrees, still idle at 105). My idle is 900rpm roughly, with 12-14psi, but this is with 5w40 as well.
I will try penrite at some point, unfortunately I'm bound to Valvoline for the first year with engine builder.
Is there any way to test that the thermostat is working? It should be opening at 85 degrees, but the climb from 85-105 is quite steady. It def dropped my original temps though.
