Hi Eric
If I understand, most of the time your engine is running at idle (low oil temps, rich mixture). Making an analogy with car engines it’s like a heavy-duty situation and in the case of car the makers recommend that you should reduce by 50% the time or km between oil changes.
In my opinion you should consider the above and reduce the time between oil changes.
Take in to consideration that oil and the plugs are one of the cheapest items of the engine maintenance so you should consider changing the oil and filter every 50 hours if using mogas or oil every 25 hours if using avgas and the filter you should go to 50.
