Re: normal oil temp and pressure? (squalsvette)
Don't know about pressure, but I would say the "normal" oil temps in traffic should be in the 208-220 range. That's where mine usually is. You may never get up that high if you go straight from your house to the freeway and then on to work, but around town, the numbers above should be about right.

Re: normal oil temp and pressure? (Perfusion)
i know this probably doesnt pertain to your engine, but a rule of thumb in racing engines is 10lbs of oil pressure for every 1000 rpm. But my 94 seems to have about 15 or so lbs of oil pressure when it is at operating temperature, though i could be wrong since the analog gauge has no #'s on it :p:

45-60psi at cruise, about 30 at idle, when warmed up. (higher otherwise)
195-215 is a good oil temp range
195-215 is a good oil temp range
