Jim & Syd, My Aircoupe came from Saskatchewan (talk about cold!), and they used the same cold weather kit Syd mentions; I have it on now. My AP said that he thinks anything under 140 is on the cold side. I'm in Connecticut, and we've had a warm spell recently, but I had her up on a couple of pretty chilly mornings, and she was happier with the plate on. Was running at around 160.

I installed a cold weather kit on my Coupe, consisting of an aluminum plate covering the oil tank cooling opening, held on with nut plates and screws. I flew quite a bit today (Wausau to La Crosse to St. Paul and back to Wausau) and the oil temp averaged about 160 degrees. Syd Cohen Wausau, WI NC94196 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Need some expertise.
