To your list you can add

Abnormally high Oil Temperature/Cylinder Head Temperature: If the temperature is high but stable, open cowl flaps (if fitted), mixture full rich, increase airspeed (if climbing). If the oil temperature is steadily increasing and past the redline with a major drop in oil pressure then as I mentioned above you should consider the engine likely to fail and land ASAP.
