On the turbos, minimum 0.5 bar at idle hot, must peg the gauge at 1500
rpm.
Typically you won't see less than 2 bar at idle unless you are stuck
in a traffic jam on a hot summer day with the AC on.

Is that
Should be about the same -- the reason you normally see 2 bar is that
the cooling spray jets that spray oil onto the bottom of the pistons
open at 2 bar. Unless you have a really worn engine or a dying oil
pump, there is enough flow to open the jets at idle.

OM60x Min specs I believe are: 0.3 bar at idle and at least 3 bar at

A question for the group. Last night on the way to work, the oil pressure on my

After dealing with a wonky coolant temp gauge myself, I wouldn't trust the

Verify that the pressure is indeed low and you don't just have a bad
pressure sender unit!
Mine did something similar, then dropped to zero and sat there.
Replaced the sender, works fine.
It is also possible to dislodge an internal seal in the oil filter,
which will drop the oil
Try replacing the oil pressure sensor first. They are electronic and do go

The Westerbeke oil pressure reads:
Start up diesel 65 psi
20 minutes operation 30 to 40 psi and drop to 20 psi a few times at 2200 rpm
Throttle back psi go up to 50 to 55 then drops down to the 30 to 40 psi
range
Change oil sender and unit two years ago and no problem for that year.
Last year
Worn bearings will not make the pressure fluctuate up and down.
Bad wiring on an electric gauge will.
Flaky bypass/relief valve could too.
If the pressure rises when you decrease RPMs, I would wonder
about oil level not being ideal.

I guess you have checked the easy stuff. O-rings on the oil filter bolt, proper
filter, proper oil viscosity? It is also pretty easy to drop the steel portion
of the oil pan to see if there is loose stuff in there that may be being sucked
into and blocking the the oil pump inlet screen.
Low oil pressure after it gets up to operating temps? #1 cause is bad main
bearings; or perhaps a bad pressure regulating valve on the oil pump output
combined with a worn out oil pump combined with the wrong oil viscosity. If
he's really lucky, just the wrong oil!

.3 is min factory spec at idle.
