Basic guideline:
- Keep engine speed below 2,600 RPM.
- Keep oil temperature below 90°C
- Keep water temperature below 95°C
This are not the absolute limits, higher values might be possible, maybe only for limited time.

The maximum permissible temperature in flight is
120°C and the recommended cruising temperature
should not exceed 95°C.
