3.4.7 LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE
More often than not, a loss of oil pressure will be gradual.
If it is accompanied by an increase in oil temperature, it is
a sign that there is a problem with the engine's oil system
and the aircraft should be landed as soon as practical, as
the engine may stop suddenly. At reduced power,
maintain altitude and proceed to the nearest suitable
landing site. Be prepared for a power-off forced landing.
Low oil pressure could be the result of a faulty gauge or
sender unit or a malfunction in the oil pressure regulating
system. In any case, land as soon as practical and have
the problem investigated.
3.4.8 HIGH OIL TEMPERATURE
Abnormally high oil temperature indications may be
caused by a variety of reasons, among them:
 Low Oil Level
 Obstruction in the air reaching the oil cooler
 Defective Gauge
A rapid rise in oil temperature must be treated seriously.
Monitor the oil pressure gauge. Reduce power, enrich the
mixture and, if practical, maintain a high airspeed to ram
cooling air through the oil cooler.
Land as soon as practical and investigate the cause, but
be prepared for a power-off forced landing.
