Surely possible.
My other thinking is that some sort of micro-climate may be responsible. In other words, ambient temperature is measure at one height above the ground, while the position of my oil pan and its temperature gauge is at a lower height to the ground.
Heard about this micro-climate deal while watching baseball some years back. The ambient temperature at the game was very, very warm. But then they placed a thermometer on the playing field itself, and it showed much warmer than the measured ambient temperature. They explained it as micro-climate conditions.
So hard to say. I should start keeping a log on what shows on my vehicle just for giggles.
