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 can be the result of a faulty gauge or
sending 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 flow 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.
