I thought the oil cooler thermostat opened a little cooler than that. Burn off volatility (Noack number) is a bit high for the 5w40, which is why I was tempted to get 5w30, but I usually change the oil frequently enough that burn off shouldn't be an issue.
Interesting that you mention earlier cars. My wife has a 2005 9-5, which calls for 5w30 (or 0w30, 0w40). Should I go ahead and use 5w40 in hers as well?
