I did increase the amount of oil by about a liter so the oil level was the same as before (in relation to the bottom of the case).

Yeah, I used an oil pickup extended the same depth as the oil pan increase in the hopes of maximizing the circulating oil's contact with the metal exposed to the air.

I was surprised at the 300 F as well, but that's what my thermometer read.

It's pretty much what I expected to find, a minor oil temp drop due to increased surface area exposed to the atmosphere. As MikeHalloran implies, one data point is hardly conclusive. I did it because the larger oil pan and pickup were readily available and inexpensive.
