I would second and third previous recommendations to have an oil door
with cockpit control. I use it all the time closed when first
starting and taxi helps it warm faster and depending on day and season
find that I sue it to fine tune the temp.

Hey LML gang,
Working on our IO-550N engine installation… Already have baffling done and
flapper door in front of oil cooler. We’ve heard mixed reports of whether
it is needed or not. We need to decide if we really need to have cockpit
control of the door or not. We’ve heard some people just remove the door or
wire it open or closed depending on the season.
Would appreciate hearing about your flight experience with the Legacy with
an IO-550N engine and the usefulness or not of control of the oil cooler
door…
Thanks!
