Default Hot Oil?

The first time I took my '09 JK off road (also the first day I owned it ), I got a "Hot Oil" message on the message center.

I was going up an approx. 45 degree angle on a snowy road in 4 HI. I wasn't hitting it hard at all and this message popped up.

I've tried to recreate the situation I was in but haven't been able to get the message to pop again.

I looked through the manual but couldn't find anything and a search on the site didn't turn anything up.

Anyone know what this message is?

If you have an automatic tranny- install a cooler ASAP. These trannies leave much to be desired in the cooling department. Several write-ups for cooler installation. If manual tranny- you got me...
