As for oil temp, imo as long as it's within about 5deg of coolant temp I don't think there is any issues, I think the absolute most U would want to see oil temp would be about 110/120 deg after that I would be expecting gearbox damage... temperature would also be heavily dependent on ambient temp & transmission load & vehicle load, so unless U were towing a heavy trailer/boat on a hot day up a big hill I wouldn't be expecting to ever see 110/120deg, but the temperature U described I would think this quite acceptable
