<VV> Oil temp

[Joel McGregor]

Average engine temp (as no specific given) would be around 195 - 205 degrees.
The normal operating temperature for a modern (e.g., 1996+) automobile engine, manufactured for sale or use in the US, will fall between 200 and 250 degrees F
These 2 statement contradict.

I am a ASE and Chrysler certified master technician with over 17 years experience working at a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep dealer.
Engines vary. The normal operating temperature for a modern (e.g., 1996+) automobile engine, manufactured for sale or use in the US, will fall between 200 and 250 degrees F. Smog equipment and computerized combustion control favor a 'hotter' running engine. The proper amount and concentration of coolant in your engine will protect it.
The thermostat plays a big part in controlling it. If you buy a 185 degree thermostat it opens at 185 degrees. Same with a 195 & so on. Average engine temp (as no specific given) would be around 195 - 205 degrees. The cooling fans come on around 210 degrees approx. The temperature will vary according to driving conditions, ambient temperature etc..
Some newer engines will run in the 220 to 230 deg range.

Bob,  Is that something new?  I don't know of anything that uses more than a 195 thermostat and they generally run close to that.  The hottest fan switch I've seen is 230 and that seemed way too hot.

max temp may run that high, but I bet that most of them stay a lot
closer to thermostat opening temp most of the time - 190-200.
