That is within the 15 degree limit. Barely. Flat ground on the test? I think 68mph is high for the test, but I do not remember exactly what the test parameters are. For me, I would be thinking about a flush/backflush of the cooling system to try and buy some time before needing an oil cooler. I didn't see anything about backflusing in the Tech folder at the top of the forum but there is a coolant flush procedure. I did find a thread that might help you decide.

Doesn't sound bad. I would still get acquainted with the cooling system fixes while you have the time and you are not in a bind.

It is best to get it flushed and changed when the oil cooler (and coolant system) is relatively clean.
