When I am waiting for the car to cool the fan is still doing its on for like ten to 15 seconds then off for a bit like. A minute then kicks back on again repeat.

Good oil will work fine with temp 225-230f, and if you arrive at you destination at that temp you could shutdown the engine at arrival. If you see the needle move you are likely in trouble. The gauge "digital" will show the thermostat working as well as the fans, highways dynamics with temps and a couple of things more.
