For those of you that have Trip-Tek or VMSpc etc. What numbers are you seeing for your oil pressure at start, normal driving and interstate(65-75mph)? Thanks for your replies

Jim - doesn't look like you are getting many responses...

I think my oil pressure (Cummins ISL) runs from about 30 to 50 psi. I really haven't paid much attention to it to be honest.

Hi ichn2go,
70 PSI cold, 40 hot high load, 44 hot no load. CAT C7.

Jim:

For the brief time I was able to get VMSpc to work, my oil pressure at 60-65 mph pulling 4,300 lb toad on level was 34-36 psi.

Thanks to all that replied.
On a recent trip running 65mph w/toad I noticed that it droped to 24 then would go up to 28. I thought I had seen it running at 40. Needle on dash gauge was at about 11 o'clock and I think it was usually at 12. Checked the oil hot and from what I could see it was ok. Gonna check it cold this AM.

Have about 6500 miles on the oil and its susposed to go 10,000. Altho its been longer than six months and it may be getting a little "thin".
I have scheduled to have it changed on Tuesday and will let you know the results after the oil change. Thanks again jim
