4KCSQ running hot?

My 86 4KCSQ is beginning to run hotter than I'd like it to...for example, oil
temp. at 130+ degrees Celcius crusing at 75 mph on a fairly cool day (around
80F)...also, the water temp was running pretty hot in town today, even though
it was around 70...what I mean by "hot" is this on the guage:

            C

I'm going to switch to 20W50 oil, and the radiator will be flushed/checked next
week...any suggestions/ideas?
