Thank you!

Thank you for the replies so far.

KBPsen Sure at standard temp and pressure, but the jet engines don't work at std temps and pressures. Back in 1971 I studied Kelvin's Gas Laws. I am sure you did too. You are not thick, I can tell.

Barit: excellent point YES.

no-hoper: thank you, please feel free to add to this thread. This Trent oil temperature issue fascinates.

spannersatcz..nice screen name! That is exactly what I want to know too!

Additional comments. GE/PandW/EA recently issued a notice to check oil lines for coking and fractures as a consequence of the Qantas incident on the A-388.

The RR Trent has more bearing surface area to cool than EA products. We know that the running temp of the Trent 972 is 180C. We have been told that the running temps of GE/GA/Pand W engines is less.

Would be grateful if others could please advise what temps they are seeing in day to day use in a/c they fly.
