It's cooler up north - how are your oil temps?

Scott Sherer

Here in Wisconsin the temps are now in the 50's and it's time to put on my oil cooler winterization plates. That's what I'm doing tomorrow!

I am actually looking for a winterization kit for my R182. If anyone is interested in parting with theirs or has an idea where to find a set please send me a message.

One thing I have noticed on the subject is most kits/plates have placards for use only when temperatures are below 20 degrees F.

Temps have been very mild here in ND this fall, my oil temps are running in the the low 180's for me so far.

Hi Mark, your target temp is 180 and if you're reaching it, that's great. I can help you find a set if you get me the part number(s). Do you have a parts manual to look them up in?

mrsandstrom

Good morning Scott, your help would be greatly appreciated. I've searched through a few vendors and sites gleaned from this publication without any luck. I've attached the page from the parts book with the correct numbers marked. I'm excited to have your assistance.

Scott Sherer

Thanks for the message. Don't get too excited. I haven't found them yet

So far I've found two possible sources. I'm still looking but check on these:

Thanks Scott, waiting to hear back from one of your suggestions, the other does not have the parts available other than a new production order. I am holding off on that option hoping to find another of less financial impact.

OK, I'm still looking. You might also try some of the other boneyards like: https://www.texasairsalvage.com/ https://aircraftpartsandsalvage.com/ http://dodson.com/aircraft_parts.html
