I have a 2000 Ovation, with the O3 upgrade (310hp). After my last engine overhaul, my engine runs very cool. Typically, in the winter I now put aluminum tape over the oil cooler to maintain >170F oil temps in cruise (LOP operations). But here is my question: Last week I flew all the way from the Canadian border down to Oklahoma. Starting in Montana, the temps were near-freezing at 9k ft with oil temps as low as 165F in cruise. When I got to Oklahoma, the temps at 11k ft were 18C, with oil temps at 198F. So which is worse, cold oil or warn/hot oil? If I were to "winterize" my oil cooler I would run at 210-230F on climb-out when it is hot (to get 185F when it is cold). Does anyone else have this problem with Ovations? Thanks! TOM
