Default 1998 V6 Temp / Oil pressure question

Today i noticed that i was running about 32 - 34 lbs of oil pressure and my temp stays around 175-185 degress. I was woundering if that was normal i changed my oil and it brough my oil pressure up to around 55-60 lbs which im ok with that, but ive never seen a car run so cold im used to them runnin around 210 degress. Is this normal?

Temp sounds a little low. How long was it running, what was the temps outside? Is the thermostat sticking open? Oil pressure will vary depending on engine wear, temps outside, temp of motor, weight of oil being used, etc.

temp sensor could be bad, previous owner could have taken the thermostat out or put in a 160 temp thermostat. are your fans running all the time?
