I did a search and could not find this item talked about here, if it has I apologize. It is worth talking about this time of year though.

Pretty nice product for getting oil temps up in the winter.  Makes cross country flights in the winter months better for the engine by getting the oil (210F+) hot at least once a flight to keep moisture levels in the crankcase low.

IIRC correctly there is already a thermal switch in the oil filter /cooler

that restricts oil to the cooler until an appropriate temperature is

reached.

It's the Vernatherm valve.  However there can still be some benefit to blocking off the cooler.

We added the gate style control to the oil cooler housing to be able to

control the temp with the pull of a knob. This is common in other RV

models.



Photos attached.
