Default 2001 Normal Operating Temps

Can anyone tell me what the "normal" operating temps are for a stock 2001 automatic? Coolant? Oil? Trans? I just want to make sure everything is in the normal range. Thanks for the help in advance.

I've got an '02 and I believe my temps run as follows.

Water....200
trans......about the same
oil..........about 220

I'm just going off the top of my head as to what I saw last weekend on the highway.

My '01 runs a little cooler than those numbers with no trans temp (mn6). But generally about 194-198 on the coolant most of the time. Highest I've seen in mid summer in traffic was 205 for a moment then it cycled back down to 198.

My '01 runs about 185-190 for coolant normally ( I use water wetter)
and about 205-210 for oil.
