    If you look @ the chart and look at your pressure on scan tool, you have low oil pressure.

    The pic is a C-12, from the C13 manual though and location the same! Your existing gauge hose is probably in one of the oil gallery plugs.

    The plugs are -6 SAE STOR, some also call it ORB. Any hydraulic place should have what you need.

    Something is base, bearing wear, VVA leak, could be number of things. What is your oil drain intervals. Bossman tried 25,000 miles on the C13, but the 1R-1808 tended to plug around 23,000 miles. We went back to 20,000 on tractors.
