We recently decreased prop pitch on our 912 ULS from WOT 4800 rpm to 5200 rpm. Runs fine, but oil temp is running significantly hotter. Previously averaged 160-185 even with prolonged climb. Now ranges about 20 degrees hotter and does not tolerate as steep a prolonged climb angle before reaching Yelllow on the Oil Temp gauge. Once in level flight it cools down, and lower ambient air temp of course moderates the effect. Is it most likely the change of prop pitch and the increased engine rpm that has caused the change? Thanks
