    Hello 2015 Volvo d13 having low oil pressure around 15~ 18psi after running and when engine’s hot but after 5 mins engine shutting down idles at or closer to 30 psi again could this be the sensor issue?

    Check the oil level and also feel and smell it to see if it is diluted with fuel. Could also have someone connect to the computer to see what pressure the ECM is reading. Connect a manual gauge and see what the pressure is. Is your coolant temp gauge running normal? Do you have an oil temp gauge? Coolant and oil temp should be about the same.

    Hot oil is thinner, not uncommon to see lower pressure when hot at idle. Unless it was different before.

    Oil level is normal no leak, no signs of fuel or coolant leaking into the oil however my coolant temp stays around 170 when my oil temp is around 220~ 230 some difference there but I heard D13 runs high on oil temp

    Can’t remember exact where the pressure was before but definitely seems lower than before I’ve heard something about pressure relief valve sticking when starting to malfunction and it purges too much pressure when engine’s hot hence the low oil pressure. It goes low only when I come off a freeway after a few hours of run and stop at a light, if I go into a fuel island shut the engine off for 5 mins and turn it back on it goes up to around 25~28 again very weird

    2014 D13 Oil temp. | TruckersReport.com Trucking Forum | #1 CDL Truck Driver Message Board
    There is a bypass valve in the oil filter housing. Also an engine oil thermostat bypass valve. You don't have a code but this gives some diagnostic checks. Volvo D13 Engine Oil Thermostat Bypass Valve Location | SPN 4813 Q&A
