Default cossie water and oil temps anyone?

i got a 2wd saph running approx 320bhp and wondered if theres a 'average' temperature for the oil and water temp gauges fitted in the dash? My engine temp sits at mid way as it should but wasnt sure if theres a temp the other ones would normally sit?
cheers for looking

The dash gauge is for water/head temp. There is no oil gauge fitted (unless you have an aftermarket one?)

My 2wd water temp sat at mid point once warmed up.

all depends on how efficient your oil cooler and radiator is
Hopefully the gauges are matched to the senders so if they are mid way you need not worry
