Just did my annual and oil change. Also, dynon added voice alerts now.
So, a few flights since, the CAUTION OIL PRESSURE warning come on.
It is on for the first 5-10 minutes..and in straight and level as it warms up, adjusts and is fine. Oil temps are always in spec.
When I say high, the default io320 pressure warning is squawking at me at 85-90psi. Oil temps are say 170 and slowly climb to around 185 for cruise. A few minutes into the flight, oil pressure lowers to the yellow zone and is mid 70PSI
Flew several times today and twice on the roll and climb out the alarm went off, always just in the 86-90 range and short term. Never higher, and always fell back in line later in the flight as all seemed to warm up. I am running shell100+
Any ideas, is this pressure no big deal and I should adjust the default YELLOW ZONE up a few degrees so she stops yelling, or can this be something else. Any ideas on what to check?
Adequate oil, gauges work, temps are fine, just higher than green zone oil pressure?
Any ideas?
