    I think Dorsal is right. 180 deg. F is generally accepted as the minimum target point temperature for oil temp to make sure moisture evaporates from the oil in aircraft engines. I know Rotax is different in many ways from a Lycoming for instance, but that number should still hold true.

    The operating manual states normal operating temp of 194F to 230F.

    It also states 212F must be reached at some point .

    Page 3-10 , section 3.7 Rotax 912 operating manual.

    I think this is where the F / C conversion comes in to play. 194 F is equivalent to 90 C. What the allowable deviation is could be anyone's guess. 194 in farenheit sounds very precise while 90 Celsius sounds fairly imprecise. Just an opinion.
