Q

High oil temp or low oil pressure

A

If oil pressure is ok but temp is high, try to reduce temp by reducing throttle, RICH MIXTURE.
If this fails, divert with minimum throttle.

If oil pressure is a bit low divert to nearest airfield, if it heads to zero or engine becomes rough - emergency landing.
