this is my thoughts on that. are you using 100LL, that could gum up the thermostat. the other, if you think it may not be working quit well than by all means replace the element.

Re: Oil thermostat on Rotax 912
I had 600 hours with the bypass oil thermostat on a 912uls, and always figured it was a waste of time .. it did not keep the oil hot enough more than half of the year, so I do not intend to purchase one for the 912ul rebuild I am currently into .... and I will check the ebay shutters idea, but if the kiwi solution gets rid of the underbelly rad, that will be first choice
Re: Oil thermostat on Rotax 912
more about the kiwi heat exchanger, please ... what market has the right size radiators, did you eliminate the under belly water radiator or the oil rad beside the gearbox ...
