    Got 2010 truck in workshop.

    At idle oil pressure is less a 0.8 BAR. When engine revs to 1000 rpm it is about 1500 ore more BAR.

    At max RPM all is OK - 4-5 BAR.

    Looks like internal oil leak. Does anyone had this problem before?

    Max RPM oil pressure is ok but it's low at idle? Did you get those pressure readings from the dash gauge or from a test gauge?

    I would start with plumbing a good test gauge into the engine to see if the oil pressure is truly off, or if it's an oil pressure sensor that isn't reading properly.

    May be, but oil pump is the most lubricated part in engine.

    So I wanna check oil pressure regulator and geartrain

    Check history and see if an oil change was done recently. We had one acting similar and the PM guy had left little bushing out of centrifugal filter

    I removerd centrifugal filter, cleaned all filter unit with solvent, changed oil and start engine!

    over 70 PSI on laptop! Ok, I tried mechanical gauge - the same figures.

    I did test ride, but I cant warm up bobtail truck, so in monday I gonna find heavy trailer for test
