Hi Joe,
I always cover that hole whenever the outside air temperature
reaches 32 degrees or lower. If possible, you want to keep your oil
temperature up around 180 degrees. The closer the better. Warmer oil
can evaporate the moisture that comes from combustion. Moisture in the
crankcase will rust the steel parts of the engine, so get rid of it.
