Quick ?

Anyone know how hot the oil in a 2.1 engine is running at when cruising
at say 80 mph on a flat highway? Also how can you tell when you need new
rings for your engine? I'm guessing that the oil is as hot or hotter than
the oil cooler, and the cooler is at coolant temp. so this would mean 196
deg or higher?
