Oil Temperature...

[ObsidianRadio]

Okay, so whenever I decide to go up the freeway or any general uphill drive, my temperature gauge rises dramatically...

Goes just under maximum mark, and I expect steam to start bursting out from under the hood...RPM is at a regular level so between 3-4000rpm in either 3rd or 4th (tip) and I'm not quite sure if this is normal...When I go downhill or am doing regular city driving, needle's usually dead centre or just below so that's alright, it's only when I go uphill..

Any reason why? Is it normal? Should I load pies and sausage rolls into my engine bay and apply to be on the next season of the inventors with my rolling oven?

I'd start with the basics. Coolant levels & thermostat.

Thats coolant temp not oil temp and yeah just sounds like it needs a flush.
