Recommend you have an oil door.  I have one on my plane

In Colorado in the winter, you will need it closed.  In the summer, you will need it open.

Of course, you can just open and shut with the seasons, but think you will be happier with the control

Hey LML gang,

 

Working on our IO-550N engine installation…  Already have baffling done and flapper door in front of oil cooler.  We’ve heard mixed reports of whether it is needed or not.  We need to decide if we really need to have cockpit control of the door or not.  We’ve heard some people just remove the door or wire it open or closed depending on the season.

 

Would appreciate hearing about your flight experience with the Legacy with an IO-550N engine and the usefulness or not of control of the oil cooler door…

 

Thanks!
