I don't claim to be an expert, but I suspect it would take something fairly
drastic like air in an oil line to create the symptoms you described. I've got
a 912S with a newer-style cowl and it will just get to maybe 235F if I let it
toward the end of a near full-power climbout on a hot (100F on the ground day).
What you describe is a lot more drastic than that.
If so, maybe it fixed itself after it cooled off on the ground and the problem
is solved. But I think I'd take the appropriate hoses off at the top end, shake
the hoses around to free up any bubbles caught in the bends, and carefully fill
the hose with oil before reconnecting.
Getting the engine to warm up in cooler temps has been the bigger problem. I
finally make a pretty simple slider gate that fits over the oil cooler (between
it and the fiberglass hood) thats controlled from the cockpit. Works -great-,
kind of like a cowl flap. Much faster warmup time and keeps the engine warm
when tooling around slow on a cold day.
