Hello. I have a Searey amphib with the 912s engine. Oil temp was fine for a year, but last trip it ran very hot (260 F) and I had to nurse it to the airport. But, when topped off with Avgas, it ran cool the entire trip back home???? I had been putting no-lead mogas in it before this trip.
The only thing i have done differently was use Yamaha Racing Oil, instead of the Aero Shell for Rotax engines. I have just changed the oil filter and went back to the Aero Shell - haven't flown it yet.
Does ANYONE have any idea what is going on?
thanks in advance
