ON A COLD DAY, First you should not be using 50W oil 'on a cold day.' If it is cold, you should be using 30 or 40W, depending upon how cold. If the temp is variable, then multi-vis is most appropriate.

It is likely that the oil temp blow off valve is a bit slow-acting. Perhaps caused by the fact that your 50W oil has the consistency of chewing gum when it is cold. So first, change the oil. If that doesn't do it, then have your A&P investigate the oil pressure relief valve. And use the right oil from now on!
