Oil temperature question

Just wondering what are the tolerances for Mobil 1 Synthetic oil temperatures. I am running around 240 degrees for oil. The Coolant gauge reads somewhere between the 160 and 220. Is this sound right to everyone.
Thanks

A good synthetic motor oil would have a flash point of over 400 degrees.
