Can you specify that? You mean that above the max. fuel temp. the heat exchange fuel/oil doesn´t work properly?
Yes, think about it. If you had 65 degree fuel (granted, hard to get to but for an example) there is not going to be much cooling of the oil. Sixty five would be the lowest temperature but there is not a 100 % transfer from the oil to the fuel so the oil temperature will remain higher.
