My coolant hits 199 and pretty much stays there. Oil temp varies greatly depending on winter/summer and highway/city but rarely exceeds 150-170 based on my area. No transmission temp guage for 6-speed.

coolant runs 196-210 depending on driving conditions and weather. oil temp runs about the same. not sure where the 150-170 comes from but that does seem low atleast for what I see here in S. Tx.
