David,
My notes say that anything over 160F for oil and
180F for water reduces HP - seems your right on the button!
Water - red line 220F
Oil - red line 210F

I
have have about 5 hours on the plane since the latest updates and I find that
even using moderate levels of boost in climb, Coolant temps peak at 80C (176F)
in a prolonged climb and cool to 60-70C (140-160F) in cruise even at
180KTAS. Oil runs only slightly warmer in prolonged steep climb as high
as 94C(200F) but it also quickly cools to the 60-70C range in cruise.
Besides unnecessary drag, is there any problem with with continuous
temps that low? Someone wrote that oil temps in particular should not be
that low and will tend to cause sludge. My oil temps have always been
that low, and I wonder if that may have contributed to my stuck side seals
x2. I use mobile-1.
