John,
99.9% of the time it is open. Only when it is real cold like -40F in Duluth have I closed it.

Subject: [LML] How to use the oil cooler vent door -- a question
Ok --
Here is an embarrassing question to even ask, but how do you guys recommend using the oil cooler door?
My plane is a IVP. The little knob on the panel, pushed in, leaves the little flap in front of the oil cooler open. This would, I assume, cool off engine oil at the expense of running cooling air around the #2 jug. You pull the knob out and it closes the oil cooler door, sending more air around the #2 jug at the expense of cooling off the engine oil.
So on a practical day to day basis — how do you guys use/operate/manage that oil cooler door?
Thank you,
John Hafen
