During my last few hours of flight, I've noticed my in-flight oil temp is indicating lower than usual. Ambient and pre-takeoff temps appear normal, typically 100 degrees at takeoff. In flight, temp never gets above 120 degrees, which is 50 below my normal. I'm going to test the instrument with some hot water later today. I can't imagine its anything other than the gauge/bulb.

Anything else I should be checking?

btw... Oil pressure is normal.
