Gentlemen,



This is my first winter with a Jabiru J-230 (with a Jabiru 3300 engine); and, I'd like your thoughts on the ideal Oil Temp, and the methods that you use to increase the Oil Temp.



My cruise (2800-2900 RPMs) Oil Temp was 140 F with an OAT of 30 F.



Since I was under the impression that the Oil Temp should be at least 180 F, to boil off the impurities; I covered the Oil Cooler Inlet to attempt to raise the Oil Temp.



With 1/3 of the Oil Cooler covered the Oil Temp increased to 152 F.



Next, I covered 2/3s of the Oil Cooler and that increased the Oil Temp to 163 F.



Then, I covered All of the Oil Cooler and that increased the Oil Temp to 174 F (it did get to 186 F in a 90 kt climb). 



Please help me with your thoughts on this issue.



Thank you

If your oil temperature sender is in the pan, like  my 2200, then you can be sure that as the oil goes thru the heads it is getting  hot enough to boil off moisture.  Just be sure you warm it up some and turn  the prop by hand before starting.
