Subject: Re: [LML] Oil Cooler Door Control on IO-550N Engine in Legacy?

I would second and third previous recommendations to have an oil door
with cockpit control.  I use it all the time closed when first
starting and taxi helps it warm faster and depending on day and season
find that I sue it to fine tune the temp.
