Re: [Titanaircraft] Re: Jab 2200 oil pressure

Thanks, Brian.  The higher than usual oil temp I saw that day was what I suspected the cause to be.  My oil level was a tidge below the notch on the stick which would explain slightly elevated temperatures.  I normally see OP's in the 45-60 range at cruise settings with temps in the 180-190's without an oil cooler. I don't want the extra plumbing an oil cooler requires so I guess it's pretty much of a non-problem for now. I flew it yesterday and everything was fine.

Tim, I have seen between 11 and 75 psi on my oil pressure, the lower limit is not uncommon to see when you have high oil temps and you pull the power back. Before I had an oil cooler I always had oil pressure around 11 psi when I pulled the throttle back. With the oil cooler and 180 degree thermostat I very seldom see oil pressures below 20 psi, my oil temp runs between 180 and 200 degrees F. I would not be concerned as long as your oil pressure is above 30psi at cruise rpm. Adjust your low setpoint or get the oil temp down.

I had reduced throttle to about 1800 rpm to slow down when this happened. At normal cruise everything was OK except my oil temp had reached 201 degrees for a little while which is a little higher than I'd ever seen it before. I taxied back to the hangar and did a runup and everything was normal again. No oil leaks anywhere and the oil level was fine. Anything like this happen to anyone else? Bum sender?
