    Looks OK.

    I think the oil temp also depends on the water radiator thermostat. I have a 91C/82C thermostat, which makes the oil temp mostly sit around 85C. But with hard driving the oil temp gets close top 100C. When I had a 82C/68C thermostat, the oil temp behaved almost exactly like yours.
