Aeroshell published an excellent article on this a few years back. The bottom line is that if the oil temperature does not get up to 180 and stay there for a half hour or so, moisture produced by combustion will accumulate in the oil and eventually form acids that damage the engine. As you have discovered, the oil filter serves as an oil cooler. Sounds like you have more cooling than you need. Before you do anything, though, calibrate your temperature gauge. At the least, put the probe in a can of boiling water and figure out where 212* is.
