Going down the temp was -14=B0C at 11,500 ft. My oil temp looked a =20 little low at 170=B0F. I closed the oil cooler air door and the oil temp = =20 went down to 150=B0F. I opened the air door back up, so that air was =20 flowing through the oil cooler and the oil temp went right back up to =20= 170=B0F. Same thing on the return trip. Only God knows why this = happened. In the summer with temps in the 60's, the oil temp will be 180=B0F with =20= the air door open and 220=B0F with the air door closed. I have no idea why it works differently in the winter? -- Lorn H.
