Testing oil pressure is pretty easy to do as long as you can get to the sensor. Test kits are pretty cheap ( amzn.to/3rGv6k6 ). Once you find out your true oil pressure, you can start troubleshooting the real issue. Hope this helps. Like and Subscribe! Thanks.
Thanks, I hope so. And I agree, I am not a FRAM fan but I had a hard time finding the Motorcraft filter at the time. I have some now and am going to change it this week. I hope that is all it is, but I feel its probably the by-pass valve.
I have heard you can do a 50% diesel mix with the oil and use it as a flush. Run it for a little while to let it get hot and then drain it. That suppose to help remove sludge and blockages. Don't blame me though if you try it and something goes wrong.

That's a good overview of how to test oil pressure on a diesel engine.
Thank you.
First thing I said to myself was get rid of that orange filter. Everywhere says fram is junk. I hope that’s all your problems

Yeah, I have been thinking about a flush. I have a new video coming online that is the part 2 to this.
Any update on this??
I am facing same issue on hyundai getz
Thanks!
Welcome!
Were you able to get your oil pressure down? If so, what was it?
I have not been able to yet. New video coming online soon.
I was thinking it was the sensor. Those sensors go bad as much or more than the actual oil pressure issues happen.
I was so hoping it was that. No luck for me.
Did you figure out senor problem
No. I have plans to drop the oil pan and see what I find. I will update when I do.
Yep. The higher pressure looks like a crap filter. The first thing to replace.
Sadly, I replaced the filter and it had no affect. I plan to pull the oil pan and check the screens next, but I have to get the time to do that.
