High Oil Temperature; Low Oil Pressure; In-Flight Restarting - Continental Motors O-470-B Operator's Manual

HIGH OIL TEMPERATURE
NOTE ... Prolonged high oil temperature indications will usually
be accompanied by a drop in oil pressure. If oil pressure remains
normal. then a high temperature indication may be caused by a
faulty gauge or thermocouple. If the oil pressure drops as tempera-
ture increases, proceed as follows:
1. Cowl Flaps - Open.
2. Airspeed - Increase to normal climb or cruise speed.
3. Power - Reduce if steps I and 2 do not lower oil temperature.
