I used to have to tape my oil cooler and radiator in the winter and
fall. I bought a oil thermostat from Lockwood and it keeps my oil temp
right at around 200f.

Hi again group,
on the 912 80 hp operating in this cool weather we are having trouble
with oil temp being to low...i know you can tape the oil cooler to raise
the temp of which we did, but we are reading oil temp on a EIS and it
seemed to be jumping back and forth and not steady on a temp after doing
this....also we have no temp probe on the coolant and therefore without
one I do not feel like we should tape the coolant
radiator....suggestions please.....thanks .....Jim

Jim,
The only other thing I see that might be useful is to spray the carb
inlets with oil mist during shutdown of the engine. This was recommended during
one of my Lockwood engine courses. Pennzoil makes such a product and it
comes in a spray can.(probably need 2 cans) The oil will coat the engine
cylinders,valves,carb interior,etc.
As I am in Florida I can fly all year BUT my Triumph TR3 sports car is in
NC (where I am today). I intend on doing the same procedure to it in a few
hours. I will run the engine with the carb filters off and then spray oil
mist into each SU carb to kill the engine then leave the car till late
spring driving weather when I return to the mountains.
Sta-bil should be added to any remaining gasoline(again recommended Rotax
proceedure) if you don't drain it.

To keep the oil temp up in cold weather, you need to install one of
the oil system thermostats sold by Lockwood. They are not too
difficult to install, and it keeps the oil temp up to the minimum of
180 F. Get one, they're foolproof, and necessary if you fly in the
cold north!
