The oil temp sensor measures oil temperature, the radiator fan is activated when the water temperature reaches a certain level (93 degrees C iirc). They're not directly related.

Does you're oil temp actually register as warmer, than it did with the old sensor fitted ?

If it does, I'd suspect the calibration of the sensors, or lack of it is the cause.

I wouldn't worry about but, just keep an eye on it regardless.
