| Subject: | Jabiru 3300 Ideal Oil Temp |
Gentlemen,
This is my first winter with a Jabiru J-230 (with a Jabiru 3300 engine); and, I'd
like your thoughts on the ideal Oil Temp, and the methods that you use to increase
the Oil Temp.
My cruise (2800-2900 RPMs) Oil Temp was 140 F with an OAT of 30 F.
Since I was under the impression that the Oil Temp should be at least 180 F, to
boil off the impurities; I covered the Oil Cooler Inlet to attempt to raise the
Oil Temp.
With 1/3 of the Oil Cooler covered the Oil Temp increased to 152 F.
Next, I covered 2/3s of the Oil Cooler and that increased the Oil Temp to 163 F.
Then, I covered All of the Oil Cooler and that increased the Oil Temp to 174 F
(it did get to 186 F in a 90 kt climb).
Please help me with your thoughts on this issue.
Thank you
OldNavy w/a Jab
