Once the car is warmed up:

Oil press.....30-60

Oil temp.......190-230

Water.........190-220

Volts.......13.2-14.5

I don't have an automatic so don't know that. Don't get too hung up on exact numbers just because you now have a car where they are readable. On a hot day, things will be higher...cold day, things will be lower.

Not to mention that the water temp gauge will cycle quite a bit on hot days when moving at leass than highway speeds as the cooling fans cycle on and off.
