Safe oil temp?

So when I bought my car I had mitsubishi throw in the sports gauges as part of the deal and one of the gauges is my oil temp but it's in celcius. The highest the temp has gotten is 90 degrees celcius I guess thats about 194 fahrenheit but it usually stays around 80 celcius when im just granny shifting. So i was just wondering what a safe temp for my oil was? I appreciate the help.

I've been running an oil temp gauge for about 2 months now and when I'm cruising around, I usually see temps between 180 - 190 F. And that's with only oil cooling my turbo, so sounds like your temps are good!

My IX RS hits 80degrees Celcius and the highest i've ever seen it go was ~95degrees Celcius in heavy traffic in major AZ heat w/ AC on. It's normal..
