Hahahah, I was just going the flow of traffic.
That's normal oil pressure for Cats. Here's a snip from their web site:
What is normal oil pressure?
Typical oil pressure range for engines running at rated speed and operating temperature with SAE 10W-30 or 15w40 oil is:
C-10, C11, C-12 & C13: 30-45 psi
I'm guessing MB runs higher oil pressures? My son has a N-14 Cummins in his truck and his pressure is higher too. My truck had 52k miles on it when I bought it and that's where the oil pressure always read. I found it pretty hard to believe they would have damaged the engine in such a short time. I checked with the mechanic at the Kenworth shop I take it to and he said that's just the right pressure for that engine.
