You know I've heard this argument for years and it just isn't so.
The attached photo shows one that works quite well and is simple to

found that you could keep the oil temperatures up? Some parts of the
world do get quite a bit colder than California.

Kevin-
What you say is true, however my point is that a rear mounted door can effectively raise your oil temp about 50 deg F from open to closed. The coolest air I've flown in at altitude is about -20 deg C.
