180 with a 203 stat is not good. something is wrong with either the gauge or the stat. You should be running a rock solid 200-205. Like Farm said oil temp will be close or a little higher than oil temp.
As for range of temp, oil temp will move more than coolant temp. My coolant never changes plus or minus 205 unless I idle for a while but running down the road no matter speed or load its between 200-210. But like Farm said anything under 230 should be fine.
