Bro, i believe yours is a F10 with the temp gauge at the bottom right of the instrument panel. That is your Oil Temp Gauge.

This apply to all make and model be it Conti or Jap.

Water boiling pt is always constant at 100'C and we do not want to be operating in this temp range like a kettle with boiling water in the radiator.
Radiator Fan will always kick in at ard 92'C to cool it down.
Thermastat only open at ard 85"C to provide warming up of engine during cold start. (It circulate the coolant within the engine water line until it reaches 85"C den it open up to further circular into the radiator before it reaches it boiling point)

As for the operating temp btw 100"C to 120'C that is meant for oil temp.
