On my six, I was using joe Gibbs 10x40, I recently switched to Kendall titanium 20x50, with added zinc
For the first time I drive the car after the oil change and my temp surged 20 degrees higher. It was not even that hot today. Is it the oil weight or the type? Correction : Kendall titanium high performance 20-50 |

I switched from Brad Penn 20-50 to Joe Gibbs DT-50 and the oil temps dropped 20F. Drove the car on the same 45 minute loop before and after changing to Joe Gibbs and checked the oil temp with a dipstick thermometer. I told my buddy with a 3.2 Carrera and his oil temps were lower when using Joe Gibbs. It's expensive and a PITA to get because I have to order it online but I'm sold on the results. YMMV.
