After recently installing a new water pump, 160F thermostat and new coolant in my 2000 2.7 I've been monitoring my coolant temperatures. With ambient temperatures in the mid-eighties and speeds in the 70 MPH range I'm running between 80-85C (176-185F). When I slow down or stop in traffic the temperature quickly rises to 95-99C (203-210F). I haven't cleaned my radiators in 5 years so I assume they aren't ideal. I haven't yet looked at oil temperatures but will on the next outing.
Curious to see what you are running with your S.
