Re: F250 oil pressure question
Hi, WhiteLightning.
Thanks for the helpful reply!
Yes, I have a pyro: the exhaust temp was never above 600 degrees F,
and coolant temp was never above the lowest quarter of the temp range.
When I stopped, nothing under the hood was unusually hot or smoking.
The oil supply to the banks turbo is a 1/4" braided stainless line that
runs from the side of the crank, across the exhaust manifold (!?!?!?)
with a heat-shield to protect it from the worst of the heat, to a
splitter where the pressure sensor is located.
I'm guessing the gauge on the dash is, in fact, a real sensor and not
as some folks have suggested a glorified idiot light. I base this
guess on the fact that the gauge has registered a variety of pressures,
not merely halfway-or-off.
The question is, is 30psi at the input to the banks turbo too low? I
know the oil pressure is supposed to be between 40 and 70 psi, but
where is that sensor located?
And why, Whitelightning, do you prefer Delo 400?
