Oil Temperature High after replacing radiator Options

[Stu37363]

My stock radiator cracked at the top. i got a good deal on an aluminum radiator with slim fans and it went in great.
since the installation my water temp has been fine, but my oil temp has been higher than usual. its usually 180-190 ish. now its hitting 230.
is there something i could have knocked loose to cause this?
I did not move the shrouds over to the new radiator because i didn't think they would fit. is this causing bad air flow? is there an oil cooler or something that may not be getting good air flow now?

Thanks for any help.

Oil temperature and water temperature have a lose connection because there is a water to oil cooler under the oil filter.
Is it a no name ally one? Does the water temp (on the gauge) seem higher? (although the stock gauges are not linear and not ideal for relying on)

Its a godspeed one. the water temp may be slightly higher, its hard to tell on the stock gauge.

I just put the fan shrouds back in, its too cold to really test it right now. i have one more question. i switched out my fans, can i just wire those up to the existing wiring with no issues? electrical stuff confuses me sometimes. it would seem the fans would pull the amount they need and be just fine.

Thanks

How do you measure your oil temperature?

How do you measure your oil temperature?

With a temperature gauge i placed next to the stock sensor.

Stock oil temp sensor? Where is it? What engine do you have?
