Historically there have been many threads asking this same question. Fact is, the oil temperature is well controlled and low indicated temps are normal. Remember that the oil is also a coolant and that fact is just as important as it being a lubricant,
You might have to cruise across Death Valley at 100mph to get the gauge up near the top and it will still be nothing to worry about.
With the 1800 Volvo were worried about cooling, hence the oil "cooler", that definition is debatable, and the fact that at the time of introduction, multi grade oils were in their infancy. Bottom line, don't worry about it. Change the oil and filter regularly and keep it up to the mark.
