Should be at least 180* or so. You're about 122* (50*C). If oil doesn't warm up enough, it doesn't work properly.
Unless you're road racing, there's really no need for an oil cooler - and this is why.

If you don't have one ( sounds like you don't) install a thermostat. They usually open at 160° but allow some oil to pass before that. Also, lighter weight oils can be difficult to get up to temp on the street with a cooler.
