coolant with the new NPG+ coolant - waterless. The concept is simple - the
coolant now has a boiling point of 375 degrees F so there is no possibility
of boiling over should the CHTs approach the 275 degree F limit. I have
three flight with it now and I can say that the temps are running warmer
than they have in the past. I am not sure this is a good thing, since it is
now winter and the air temp is cool. I suppose I will see what happens when
we warm up again. My engine monitor reads about 10 degrees high, so I am
seeing 240 degrees where I would normally see about 230 in climb. The CHTs
also seem to come up faster taxiing out, but the oil temp doesn't warm up
any faster.

Dave,

Do you know what the OAT was ?
