oil change with 0w-40 and car is running hotter?

i just did a oil change on my 2008 335i. last oil change was at 13,000 miles. this oil change was done at 19990 miles. last oil change used bmw oil this oil change i used 6.5 quarts of mobil 1 0w-40 with a fram oil filter. after driving it today it appears the car is running hotter. before the car would always stay 1 bar before the 250 mark but today it was running between the mark before 250 and 250. at times on the 250 mark. theres no change in my driving habits ive been driving it the same way just as before the oil change. anyone experience this?
