ABNORMAL OIL PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE INDICATIONS
Oil pressure and temperature problems are usually related with
one affecting the other. Before any drastic action is taken, cross
check other engine instruments and control settings in an attempt
to determine the source of the problem.
High oil temperature is generally a result of loss of oil or
overheating (note CHT). If the situation remains unchecked, oil
pressure usually drops resulting in possible engine damage.
Power should be reduced while maintaining cruise airspeed; land
as soon as practical.
