Temps in Northwest are fine. in 95-100 degrees you must be careful. You can go over temps ie 260 degrees or so for about 30 minutes, so I was told, in extreme conditions, The oil will not coke at that temp. If the oil smells burnt it definitely needs changing. I was at Boise, ID. cooking on the tarmac 100 degree weather, waiting for ten minutes for clearance. Took off and made a gently climb out. The powerplant cooled down and there was no problem. In three years, that was the only incident regards to temp problems. Bob Smiley N94RJ
