Oil Cooler 912 ULS
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions

I am in Hawaii--flying a 2008 Flight Design CTLS, and when leaving Kona for Honolulu, or vice versa, my oil temperature always seems to rise to the warning level of 240F during a climb ( of say 650+/- ft / min ) by the time I get to say, just 3000 ft.
I am "forced" to level off, the speed increases to say 115+ knots, and after a couple of minutes, it slowly drops to 225F+/- . Then I resume the climb to cruise altitude, another few thousand feet. Occasionally I have to do this twice. At cruise the temp gauge fluctuates a bit, but indicates about 220F+/-.
I seem to recall that Rotax announced a replacement Oil Cooler, which runs the oil temp about 10 deg cooler. If so, I think I would want to get it, and replace the standard oil cooler.
Does anyone have information or advice on this?
