I know that the fans kick in at 87 degrees so it might be static at 80, not too sure though

you find that on a cruise water and oil temps are almost idendical due to the modine heat exchanger

As glenshute says, ok to me too, shows the stat is working as well.
Oil temps will be higher, why they are cooled by modine, the oil does at least as much cooling as the water.
