Default Low oil temp in my engine

Running an 8 qt pan and cooler on my 514 CI beast. Oil passes thru twin oil filters on its way to the oil cooler. On a recent 90 degree F day, after some spirited driving, oil temp rose to about 150 F. That's as high as it has ever gone. Granted most of my limited miles have been 20 or less miles, but the temps concern me. I have even installed a metal shield over the cooler, but not sure that helps raise temp very much.

Am strongly considering removing the cooler, and AN lines, and mounting oil filter on the engine block rather than the current remote location.

Next trip, I WILL shoot the pan with my IR thermometer, just to confirm what I fear - low oil temps.
