get the coolant check, the main job of coolant is to cool off the engine and engine oil if the coolant is low it may affect the engine oil temp.

i agree and even if there is some problem with intake or outlet then it can be the reason for the engine oil to heat up

of the engine oil is heating up then the radiator should be checked too

Something similar had happened in my Mazda 2 the engine oil would be hot more then usual. I had to get the radiator changed as there was leak and in general the temp of the car got high i just waited for 2 days and took this decision. dont wait for long before something major happens

one of the function of coolant is to cool down the engine oil running around the cylinders if that is exhausted then the engine oil will get hot and can be very catastrophic.I hope you must have already found a solution.

heating of engine oil is very normal check the oil only after 3 to 4 hours and if its still hot then its a problem.
