This wouldn't be the first car to pull timing based on coolant and oil temp sensors though, assuming that's all the car does is just pull timing. I haz no idea.

Either way I just prefer my oil to run cooler and pull heat out of the rest of the components in the engine.
I looked through my logs. I'm running unichip which might cause a discrepancy on the measured values or the behavior but my timing doesn't look to be pulled back at all through the session.
