We have been plagued with high engine oil temperatures for a long time. The symptom is that all is well, and then quite quite quickly the temperature will go up past the red line and stay there. To cut a long story short, we finally found the cause - a blocked oil filter at the scavenge pump. The oil system has two filters - a 3-stage mesh filter in the main oil line and a single mesh filter at the scavenge pump entry. The guys who serviced our engine had forgotten about this second filter and hadn’t cleaned it for years. We cleaned it, and the problem disappeared. The engine ran better too.
