DD13 engine running 5-10PSI oil pressure at idle after changing engine oil and filters. Alarm and engine shutdown. Detroit diesel correct filter used with 10w30 oil. By pass valve at top of filter seems to be working and springs back. Ran a mechanical gauge from oil pressure port and still 5-10PSI. Should there be a check valve at the bottom of the filter housing? No issues before the oil service.

what year is your engine?
could be bad O-rings on pickup tube. -
Did you change the oil yourself? Was the fuel filters changed at the same time?

2015. 173k mi. Different tech did the service. I did see him replace the oil filter and everything looked correct when I took the filter out to double check. Unless the stand pipe has a small crack somewhere we cant see. Open port on the bottom inside of housing next to the stand pipe. We dont do much with DD.

@mhyn probably right then about o-rings in tubes in oil pan. Cheap fix. There is a video on YouTube about it
