Whats the normal oil pressure on a late model 6.5TD with oil spray pistons. I would like to know idle and 2000 rpm. Also if the readings are from a mechanical guage or the indash guage.

Thanks
Greg

My 99 (which has the smaller oil spray holes I believe) holds about 40@2000 and about 25@Idle warm.

My 98 runs at about 60 psi @2000, about 30 @ idle. I use synthetic 0W40 oil. This is with the stock gauges... :rolleyes: for whatever they are worth. :D
