This comes down to Water and Oil along with Ambient Temperature changes if the question is heat.

Your Oil Cooler and Coolant controls the temperatures of your vehicle far more - they are WAY hotter then intake air temps and ambient temps.

250F OIL

225F Water
*on average give or take a few*

Those are the main causes of engine heat.

I run colder water temps in my tune and therefore my oil temperature is reduced, you could consider that to help aid in cooling everything down.

I run 195F water now and reduced my oil as much as 30 degrees, depending.

I also run 40W oil in the summer but I never burned oil on 30W. It could also depend on what oil your using in general. For example - Oils like Mobil 1 burns/shears a lot more then comparable oils.
I tried M1 0W40, Castrol 0W40 and now twinpower 5W30 all with the same result. Need to investigate the T-stat delete.
