Any thermostat will open earlier than the desired peak temp to head off temp spikes. Local heating of the oil is going to be higher than what the overall temp is going to be as well, but getting the oil good and hot every so often (in my case, usually daily) is far better than having it cold. Yes of course there is such a thing as too hot, but the average person isn't going to see that outside of track use.

Most cars will pull timing a bit when things get too hot. You're usually going to have this stuff step in from coolant temp or IAT first though. Never had a car that didn't hate the hot ass summers around here...
