Don’t neglect the thermostat. Old ones tend to leak and prevent the car from reaching its full 87C op temp in the winter. This can also lead to condensation in the oil.

New OE Mercedes one installed last spring when I replaced the radiator, seems to warm up quickly and reach good temps per the gauge.
