Oil thermostat Rotax 912

Does anybody have experience with an oil thermostat on the Rotax 912?
How effective is it?

Regards,
Arnulf

Arnulf that's the way to go. No warm-ups that take forever, and you don't have to stop enroute to take off covers from the cooler as it becomes warmer. Your temp is always constant. :idea:

Should you be interested I do have a new one that is spare. PM me.

We have one fitted to an A-22 Foxbat with the 100hp Rotax. Works very well. We normally have to tape of a big section of the oil cooler, esp. in the winter. Now it runs steady oil temps in all conditions.
