Default Operating temps

I own a 2009 C6, standard model, auto trans. Bought new 6/11/09. It has 20,330 miles on it. I'm curious as to what the "normal" operating temps for the engine oil, coolant and trans fluid are. On a recent ride in 80 degree weather, the temps were 216, 210 and 198 respectively per the read outs on dash. Is this satisfactory? Thanks for your help. John F., Albany, NY

You are running around the same temps as my 09 Corvette with 21000 miles. I would say you are good. Enjoy

My 08 with 40k runs about the same.

Wait, you've had this car 8 years and don't know what temps are normal or not for it?

I was thinking the same thing.

Your coolant and oil temps are the same as my 110k mile 2005.

(oops, did not see the post by EV before writing) John, I don't mean to sound offensive, but you have had the car for 8 years, and just now are wondering about temps? Have you not checked your temps before this? They should have read the same all along, as those are pretty normal temps. Again, don't mean to offend.

Jim
