Hi I’ve got a Lycoming io-540-d4a5 that
Im having oil temperature issue, around 235f so I wanted to see if the oil cooler was clogged. I installed a mechanical gauge in line to the oil cooler and inline from the oil cooler. The reading was around 95psi at idle to the oil cooler and around 90psi from the oil cooler at idle. I know that is very high so I confirmed the oil pressure reading at the oil pressure sender and was seeing 55psi at idle on the mechanical gauge. Question is what could cause this discrepancy? All these were done with cold oil
Thanks
