Those temps look fine.
Coolant should be around 195 and not move around that much once warmed up.
Oil will always be higher than coolant, 208f is fine. I see that all the time. Track day temp will be 250 up to 270 and thats why some have gone to oil coolers.
Intake temp I've noticed will be 5-10 higher than ambient when car is moving.

I did a short drive around and have these temps (it's 60F to 70F here):
Oil Temp: 208.4F
Coolant: 192.2F
Intake: 89.6F
I've searched the forum and read that operating temperature is 90C = 194F, and have also read that common spirited driving oil temps are 215F - 230F.
The Perrin oil cooler states the engine is happiest at 85-90C (185F-194F), but then I've also read it's good for the oil to get hotter to boil any water out. So 100C is not bad?
Thoughts?
