No oil pressure on my 6V92TA Detroit Diesel
Morning All,
Don here with a major problem. I changed oil last Thurs. along with filters on gen set Etc. The last oil had 6,000 miles on it and the oil was still clear. Nothing on the pan magnet. I ran th e engine for a hour To get it up to Temp. All was good 30Lbs. at idle and 50 at fast idle.
The next morning I fired it up and it shut down in a minute or two. I started again and it shut down with no oil pressure. I went back and checked oil and it was all bubbles and aeriated with tiny bubbles.
I checked my manual and the only thing I saw was there is a relief valve above the filter. If it is broke it will send oil back to the pan?
Any old DD mechanics out there?
Thanks, Don

It's been quite a few years since I worked on any 92 series DDs, but I think if the bypass is open, you should still have oil pressure.
I would be pulling the oil pan off and having a look at the oil pump, pick-up tube and screen. I have seen the pump mounting bolts break off, but it's very rare.
With all the bubbles, it sounds likely that it's sucking air. That leaves the pick-up tube and screen assembly as suspect.
I could be wrong. but that's where I would start looking anyway.
ps. if you have a 6V92 TA, 110 injectors really wake them up.

Sir, is it a safe assumption that you filled the oil filters with oil before installing correct?

Here's some pictures of the oil pick-up tube and screen, oil pressure regulators and the filter. If there's a problem with the oil pump, you will see it right away.
Basically a very simple system to check out after you get the oil pan off. I couldn't find my old 92 series shop manual, but got this off the web.

seems odd to go from a state of in service to out of service with just an oil change.I think i would be looking at any wiring you may have dislodged during the oil change process.should be an oil pressure sensor on the oil galley. I think its next to the filter.

I've started it a few times now. If I have no oil it will ruin the engine.
We have a mechanic coming today and I will relay the cause when I find out. This is the
weirdest issue I have seen in a diesel engine.
The first thing is to check the filter and relief valve above filter. If the valve is bad the manual says it will divert oil directly to the pan. I can hardly believe that!
I will let all know when I get an answer and maybe save someone from the same problem.
Thanks, Don

My vote would be wiring or the low oil pressure switch itself. At least on the 71 series, there is a low pressure shut down that has to be overidden everytime the engine is started. I doubt that the pump just quit working. I assume you put enough oil back in the engine after the change?

If I remember correctly, the relief valve is inside the crankcase, bolted to the bottom of the block. There's a regulator and relief valve. Yours should be like the upper one in the picture I posted.
Above the filter is just the by-pass valve. If it's stuck open, you should still have oil pressure.
Be sure to put a MANUAL gauge on and crank the motor over for a few seconds to be sure it's not just a sender. Mention that to the mechanic when he comes.

If memory serves, the bypass valve bypasses the filter. Put there in case of a severely clogged filter.
With air in the oil I'm thinking it is an air leak in the pickup tube. JMO.

Thanks to all that have responded. The 5/8" line going into the remote oil filter had major pressure. Checked oil lines to gages and they were clear. Last we checked the 5/8" coming out of the filter and bingo no pressure!
A bad Luber Liner filter. This could have ruined my engine! So if you ever run into no oil pressure after a oil change put your old filter back on like I did.
Best to all, Don

Great job finding that.

As you’re well aware, you just saved yourself some serious money, not to mention the hassle factor. Nice job.

I'm certainly glad that you got your oil pressure sorted out. A brand new oil filter out of the box that can completely block your oil flow? That's one brand name that I'll never be using.
