Hot WX Oil Temp/Press

[Dan Johnson]

J-3C-65, wood prop, down in SE Texas. 1000MSL on a 98 degree day, I'm seeing oil temps just shy of 180 and press around 30-35. Still running 15W-50 from the overhaul, but it's been fifty hours/ten years, so I'm fixin to switch. High compression and 7-8 hours per quart.

Normal?
