First off, I appologize if you have to turn your head. This looks "right" on my iPhone and we don't have Internet out here!
I've always been worried about the oil pressure in the Freightliner semi. It's been this way for as long as I can remember, though (truck is a 97). The truck has 425,000 miles on it and has the Cummins N14 Plus engine in it. The first picture is hot idle when I was sitting waiting at the elevator. The other is as high as it gets hot - wound to the governor at 2,000 rpm. I run 15-40 in it.
This was originally a Ryder fleet semi. I have no reason to think it's been around the clock or that it had an in-frame top end at any point. It runs like it only has 425,000 miles on it and it looks it, too. I'm not sure if this is ok oil pressure, but my thought is always that it should be around the middle of the guage no matter what engine it is.
