What's normal? The oil weight shouldn't affect engine temperature, as it's thermostatically controlled. Driving conditions do. The car runs hotter on the highway than in town. Hotter is more efficient, but can cause knocking when accelerating, so the oil is cooler when the car anticipates acceleration rather than cruising.
