Best way to tell your normal operating temperature is to visit an auto parts store and ask them what the OEM thermostat temperature is (or you can look it up yourself on Autozone.com). Most cars these days will have around a 190 degree thermostat. Your car will run slightly hotter than that temperature as it is needed to maintain the thermostat in an open position. With that thermostat you can expect to see the temperature of the water stay around 205-210. If the water temperature ever starts to get above 240 you should shut the engine down to avoid damage and have the cooling system checked. Temperatures above 260 WILL cause significant engine damage.

If the gauge is in the normal range (usually around the middle of the scale), your engine is operating at a safe temperature. Additionally, you can use an OBD-II scanner to read the engine temperature directly from the ECU if you're looking for more precise data. If you notice the gauge approaching the red zone, it’s important to stop the vehicle and check for overheating issues.
