Oil temperature too high
FAULTY SENSOR/FAULTY GAUGE
- Immerse the sensor in boiling water to check if the read-out is correct. (boiling water = +/- 100° c)
- Calibrate the senor and adjust your instrument or replace it if necessary
LOW OIL LEVEL
Fill up to the maximum level as read on your dipstick
INLET AIR TEMPERATURE IS TOO HIGH
If the air filter is taking in hot air due to its location inside the engine compartment,
the engine temperature will rise, and consequently the oil temperature will rise also.
NOTE: max inlet air temperature = ambient air tempe 10 °C
Consider bringing fresh air from outside the cowling, for example using a NACA
duct and the ULP air inlet box (K0600001 / K0600002), and scat hose the filter to fit
inside to bring fresh, cooler air to the air filter.
