I can only tell you that in my Cat engine, as the crank and rod bearings wore further and further, the oil pressure also got lower and lower. Perhaps one or more of you bearings has gone bad.
Good Luck
If you are referring to a check engine code for a Detroit Diesel 60 series engine, there are several forum links that troubleshoot the bad code. 1 resolved code involved replacing wires to the ECM and replacing some bad batteries.
If the engine is at normal operating temperature 25 pounds is fine at idle. Also have you tested the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge, if not you should do so.
Check the oil fill cap to see if there is any water or antifreeze leaking into the oil through a bad gasket in the engine. To much water getting into the oil will ultimately cause your engine to seize, ruining your engine. A light tan substance on the underside of the oil fill cap also is indicative of water getting into your oil.
Hi,
This doesn't sound good. I would change the oil and get a report of what drained out. If it's milky sludge too, you have water getting into the oil.
Did the engine run hot? A blown head gasket could cause this oil in water issue. If that's the case, you may be in for an inspection of the engine to see what degree of damage if any... this is major. Don't let it go unattended.
Man, I hope I'm wrong. Good luck!
60 series detroit has oil sender on driver side near rear of engine just above the starter. It usually has 3 wires, and sometimes can be buried in the harness, so you may have to look under wiring harnesses in that area to find.
