If it's Evans get rid of it and use 50/50. Evans carries a 20F-30F heat penalty do to poor heat absorption and dissipation. Next check the oil hoses when hot to make sure none have a narrowed radius in them. Some people have too tight a bend and that narrows the hose I.D and slows the oil flow. You should have a 13mm opening all the way through the oil hose lines. Heat exchangers usually don't work here unless they are open air engines. Tight cowled engines don't fair well. Depending on the number of hours on the engine you may need the oil cooler flushed from accumulated debris. If the oil temp wasn't an issue before then something is now restricting its flow. Usually these problems are not an exotic fix. They are something simple that most people overlook. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
