oil temp

What should the oil temp be at freeway speeds? Mine is 240 with 20psi. Is this normal? Oil pressure seems low. Thanks

What engine do you have? What RPM do you turn at freeway speeds? 240 seems a little high for light cruising, but I don't know for sure. Usually oil runs in the 180-210F range. 250-300 when hot rodding. But there are so many factors.

Sorry about the lack of info, late night. 1990 f 150 with 302 with aod.
I have aftermarket gauges. I know that I have very tall gearing, so the rpms are low. I can't even get into overdrive. I bought the truck used, so don't know the history of the motor. The oil pressure seems low to me.
