It kind of depends on the car.
Generally, around 190-200F is normal.
FMICs tend to cause higher oil temps, around 200-220F.
After hard driving, it may spike to 250F or so but should quickly drop back down.

Yeah, I tend to see about the same temperatures for both. But the oil tends to retain heat a little longer after heating up in traffic, etc... The cooling system sheds heat more easily.
