Don't they normally run like 60psi oil? Which is nuking futs! We had the same issue with one of our 6 mf engines so we decided to put a Cummins in it. It was a dirrect bolt on transmission.
It was either get a Cummins motor ot rebuild the mf again and again. It ran for a little then got rid of it..
Had its twin keep shutting down and after multiple non stop international visits. We replaced the ectrical wire harness after replacing a bunch of parts at the stealership. It turned out to be a bad wiring harness.. so yeah only Cummins prostars from now on -

talked to mcCandless a little wile ago and they still scratchin theyre heads over the oil pressure and consumption issues .

High pressure turbos are bad for failing. This will cause noise and oil consumption. Any oil in the air system? After that, the oil consumption is basically an oil quality or level issue, bad rings or valve stem seals.
