What should the oil pressure be on a C15?
Discussion in ‘ Peterbilt Forum ‘ started by trs100, Feb 14, 2012 . Does anybody know what is the normal oil pressure for C15 on idle when the engine is hot or cold? I`m getting around 20-30 psi on idle with hot engine since the manual says it needs to be between 40 and 80 psi. At 1200 rpm oil pressure is around 60 psi. Thanks!

Ignoring a boost leak will eventually reduce your turbo’s life and in turn the car engine’s life.
