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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message jabiru-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Jabiru-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/jabiru-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/jabiru-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
