Normal gauge temperatures for oil and engine

Anyone happen to know what the temperature gauges for the oil and engine should read? It's a 2006 cooper hatchback with tach gauges, automatic CVT transmission with 140k miles. It's getting up there in age and I've noticed that my oil and engine gauges are showing higher temperatures. However, it is summer and in the 90's, so what should I expect for normal this time of year?

Oil is at 180-200 probably and engine is around 150.

those seem fine, although I would think the motor is running cold, my r53 hangs around 195 coolant, not sure engine, but typically that temp for oil is fine
