Just saw this...

The 7M-GTE came with an oil cooler from the factory. It's a piss poor design as it is pressure based (not temperature... which is just plain odd), but it does have one. I recommend replacing the stock setup with a cooler with a thermostat. As you car has a swapped in GTE you may want to check if it even has the oil cooler.
