So... considering it has been a while! haha Thank you all for the responses! It's definitely been up and down this year! Had to fit a new clutch because the clutch slave decided to go pop and **** clutch fluid into the clutch housing... no more clutch... Other than that, fitted new Mocal oil cooler ran it with 10W-40 as you guys suggested and all has been well :) Or at least it was until my engine dropped due to the front mounting not being done up tight enough (silly error by mechanic mate) and putting a nice big hole in my oil filter and proceeding to **** oil out all over the road. Luckily engine was all ok and I shut her off quick enough... After a quick trip the the garage and new oil filter and mounting done up right everything is good! Temps are back to about 96-110 even when driving hard so very happy. Thanks all of you for the help :)

Thanks for the replies... Unfortunately I had already bought the oil... Is there any problem with using 15-50? I did check as many threads as I could find and people were recommending it... :/ You say it's used to feed the charger forgive my ignorance but what is that for exactly? Just to supply oil to the charger? Also any real way of checking oil pressures or would I need to fit a gauge? It is something I was looking at anyway just not something I can afford right now... Thanks again though guys really helpful :)

I know this is a really old thread but I would like to know if you ever found a solution for your overheating. I recently bought a G60 that had a stage 4 supercharger fitted and my oil temps get very very high (scarily high) it doesn't currently have an oil cooler but I have a mocal cooler that i will be fitting tomorrow. Basically on a standard drive no booting just really low revs it will get up to 80C (oil temp) in about 10 mins then go on to 120C (oil temp) water temps stay well within their limits no problems there... When I fit the mocal I will also do a full oil/filter change and i'm replacing the oil with Mobil 1 15W-50 Fully synth the thickest stuff I could find. Hopefully this will sort out the problems with the mocal but my issue is that even with the cooler (which is a 16 row mocal said to drop temps by 20C) my oil temps will still peak at around 120 and run at 100... does this sound normal? Even with a stage 4 charger? Any help would be much appreciated :)
