Here is a question which has interested me for awhile. How close to the red line on oil temps can I get without risking damage to my engine? My POH says the red line for my 85 Continental is 225. In hot weather I find that it gets up over 200 to maybe 205. I begin to get nervous in climb when it gets up there towards that red line on the guage. Meanwhile, in the winter it tends not be get above 140. I keep reading in the aviation press that oil experts say it should get to180 or it will not boil off the water vapor even if I fly it often, which I do. This way lies corrosion. Should I be doing something with baffling in the winter to get the temps up?
