Ed where is your oil temp prob? Finn apparently has two. At least one
in the pan.

No longer have an oil temp problem. Once I stuck the Mazda oil cooler in and
made the duct opening you saw in the photo, oil temps have behaved very
nicely.  Previously to this modification, oil temps out of the cooler would
get as high as 220F on a hot day takeoff.  Now under those conditions, oil
temp does not exceed 190F on take off and generally stabilizes at 180F (or
lower at cruise).

That should have been "probe" as in sensor and not prob :-)
You answered my question. Out of the cooler.
