Oil temp should easily go over 80 C! And if you guys really drive your cars, it should go over 110 C!!
I get the feeling these fancy Evos are for posing and for short drag runs?!?

I am also running an HKS oil cooler and there is a thermostat. My car only has simple mods and I only run 1.3bar boost. The HKS oil cooler has dropped my oil temp. by about 15C. I hit approx 120-125C after the 4-5 lap when I would get close to 140 after the 3rd lap. My oil temp. is typically 20C below my water temp. Is this supposed to be right?
By the way, I live near the equator and track temps are usually 32-35C.

Jocce,
Sorry, meant to say that my oil temp is typically 15-20C ABOVE my water temp.
I would send a photo of my oil/water/exhaust temp gauges, but I don't have a digital camera. After 4-5 laps on the track, oil is 120C, water is 100C, exhaust is 750-800C.
Please remember, where I live average temp. is 30-34C, all year

Don't let it get to you man. People here are just trying to help. It is better to hear the opinion and comments of others rather than just the tuning shop. In fact, this is one of the nicest forums around

JoCCe, nobody is angry, but the oiltemp thing REALLY is nonsense, I've driven my Evo even in minus degrees also and it doesn't get too cold, period. Evo's actually run quite hot compared to other engines, as you should see from the heat emitting from the hood vent when you stand at lights f.e.. The oil could be cooler in the dipstick because there it is probably cooled through the thin tube that it's in, even my dipstick doesn't get boiling hot, just warm, but touch the oilsump, then you know how hot the oil really is. And don't be a drama-queen, just because some people don't agree with your opinion, this is nothing personal. I promise, you'll realise if it ever would get personal, so no hard feelings, cause there aren't any.

... the results from the oiltempgauge will be interesting ... The car that will use it is an EVO 6 black diamond with approx. 475-500bhp and a stock oilcooler .../JoCCe

I think I have the problem, the guys who said the car was running 30-40 degrees oiltemp had stuck the oilsensor up their ***!!! 
Seriously, if the sensor is connected properly, it will show the operating temp, which will be a LOT higher than 30-40 degrees
