This weekend, at 65-70 mph in sixth gear (~1700 rpm), ambient temperature around 50 degrees, I saw 213-216 degrees oil temperature, coolant temperature 196-198 degrees, and oil pressure 37-39 psi.

I installed the 160 stat and had a tune done, the temp average is around 178-185 average driving, and oil temp is 198-205.
However with the stock set up your numbers are on par.
