My first airplane oil temp always pretty much stayed around 50 to 60. On the new plane run 7075 and sometimes a little higher. If I open the gills and lower the cylinder head down to to 120 the oil temp will stay around 70 but I don't like run the cylinder head that low the new plane is using shell 50W weight and my old plane is using Phillips multigrade any suggestions Sent from my iPhone ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:07:14 PM PST US From: "Walter Lannon" Subject: Re: Yak-List: Hi Oil temp The first thing to consider with a CJ oil temp. question is are you reading oil IN or oil OUT? Since it is your second CJ I'm sure you are familiar with the system but it's possible the switch is incorrectly wired or installed. Check switch in flight and/or compare with your GIB.

I've used Aeroshell 100W in both the HS6 and M14p in my CJ. Anytime I used a multi grade in either engine, I notice oil leaks. I've notice the same thing on PW 1830 on our B24. We no longer use multi grade on either the B-17 or B-24. 50w seem a little light for these engi nes. Make sure your oil cooler is clean. I use a mixture of GUNK and mineral spirits (25%/75%) and spray it into the cooler. Be generous. Let it sit for a few minutes (5 or 10) and then flush it out with water until it run s clear. You can also remove the oil cooler from the airplane and used the same concoction to flush out the inter part of the cooler. Using a good oil filter in the exit line from the engine (I use a 10 micron filter) keeps the oil cooler clean and thus more effective at cool ing. In fact basically it keeps the whole system, (lines, cooler, and tank) clean. And the engine last a lot longer. Jim "Pappy" Goolsby In a message dated 7/11/2017 6:07:31 P.M.
