Default Operating Ranges; Oil

As a 'new' owner of a C6 I'd like to ask what the normal operating ranges (temp & pressure) are for engine oil. Any experience will be helpful...
Thanks,

I see from 200-220. Seems to be inline from what I've read.

I posted the same thing about a week ago.

It seems the oil wants to run around 217 on mine, and water 197. The replies I got indicated this was about the norm for the C6. My C5's ran 205 - 210 for oil, and 190 for water.

Thanks for the information! Although I have less than 1000 miles I'm finding temps 5-10 degrees higher. I'll take a 250 mile trip this weekend and post results.
JS...the info on your previous post helped!
