For me, the 'cooler is better' anxiety is from back when I was trying in
vain to keep my '82 diesel running - it always overheated and broke.  I
think now that the mechanics here in town just didn't know much about
volksies.

And therefore you are running way too cool, and wasting fuel, and hurting
your engine....
...This 'cooler is better' is left over from the air-cooled days.
Do whatever you like, but you are costing yourself considerable $ / year in
wasted fuel costs, not to mention shortening the life of your engine...
