Are you losing coolant?
If it heats up again, try pinching the lower radiator hose and the upper radiator hose to feel the temperature. If the upper radiator hose feels warm. and the lower one feels cold or empty then it's probably a bad thermostat.

In the end, if its headgasket has never been changed, now is probably the time.

Oil and water mixing is not the only sign of a blown headgasket.
