Looking at Goteborg's longterm average.- I don't see that a sea level coastal location can be considered oceanic, with a 19C annual range,. It's a humid continental climate.
19 C annual range is really low for that latitude though.
Sea level climates don't have 19C ranges, unless they have a continental influence.
Gothenburg has overwhelmingly more oceanic influence than continental though. Just because a climate has continental influences doesn't mean it's continental - in that case, Orlando is continental as well.

That's right, Orlando gets it's range due to it's continental influence. If it was out to sea, then the range would be much lower.
An Oceanic climate will never get 19C range at sea level, because one or other of the seasons, isn't showing moderation- Oceanic climates are moderated, in all seasons.

I suppose summer is not very moderated there, but winter is, almost extremely so. There's no denying that there's a big oceanic influence in Gothenburg.

Not to the point of calling it Oceanic. It has a warmer summer than places in Siberia and Alberta, at the same latitude. Oceanic can't explain that.
If it's not moderated year round, it's not Oceanic.
Average temp of 0°C+ in its coldest month? Y
Average temp of less than 22°C inits warmest month? Y
Guess what climate type Gothenburg is?
Spoiler
Oceanic
Rigid parameters are for those unwilling to apply reasoning.
It has a warmer summer than areas that are Continental, and at the same latitude. Therefore it no longer has a moderated climate in all seasons, and moderation in all seasons, is the cornerstone of any Oceanic climate.
It has a 19C range, which is higher than any Cfb climate, particularly significant, given that Gotheburg is coastal.
It's two coldest months are 0.1C and 0.3C - relatively mild, but given it's non moderated summers, it's logical to place Gothenburg as Dfb -humid continental.
