Has the engine been thoroughly broken in? The problem may resolve itself when the
rings finish wearing in. Otherwise, increasing the airflow around the oil pan
may help. I have a baffle mounted to the top front of my engine to force more
airflow down around the pan. If you need an oil cooler, you may also need to
use a remote mounted filter. I don't know if such a thing is available for the
EA-81.

Greg,
A friend, Kelly Meiste placed his oil cooler adapter where the filter
goes and then extended his lines to make the
now large filter a finned adaptation that works rather well. You could
place the conventional cooler on one side of the
lines and hide the filter elsewhere. See attached images.

I mounted a racing Oil Cooler on the right front just behind the cowling on
my 601HD. Our oil temps are in the 180- 90's We set up an adapter to the
original filter mount and ran lines to a remote filter assembly mounted on
the firewall. This works very well and doesn't add that much weight.
