I was trying to get some flying in today on my new toy, a 601XL with rotax
912 ULS, but discovered an issue. The oil temperature wanted to go out of
spec. I assumed the maybe I've got some blockage to the cooler, but also
noticed that the cooler seems VERY small. I bought this one with 62 hours
on it and I'm sure this is the standard cooler in the firewall forward kit.
Has anyone heard of any oil temp problems?

Hi Doug,
you probably have to improve the air flow through the cowling. Initially, I
had problems with the oil, too, going up to 260 F. I then modified the
bottom of the cowling - basically installed a small lip on the bottom
opening. Now I'm running on a 75 F day around 175 F oil temp.
Good luck
Thilo

We had oil temp problems with our 701 on the 110+ South Texas days. Had to
replace factory cooler with a larger one.
