Howdy,
Here are some of my oil pressure readings during some load bank runs.
Acquired a Military surplus load bank for a MEP-802A and MEP-803A.
They all start high and drop down during hard loading. Hot oil thins out some. They go back up too when cooling.
Howdy Guy,
You never made a mistake. It just shows the users need to do some reading.
hehe, you got dragged in by the ATF flush. Works great for old used and abused engines, which has its place. Just not with a reset unit.
Capeprep has a reset unit with low hours and Deere break-in oil.
All...
Howdy,
STOP! Do not do the ATF flush.
Some folks need to read and understand what your situation is first.
DRMO Reset unit, low hours. The oil pressure is fine. To understand what is happening, your engine has not been broke in yet. The John Deere Break in oil is also a lighter weight oil...
Howdy,
On all the MEPS the oil pressure drops after the engine and oil heats. After running the units on the load bank hard (100%-120%), the oil pressure gets down there. Then when I start cooling the units off, the oil pressure rises.
Just check that you oil level is to the full mark when idle.
Howdy,
Start with this thread of info MEP-802/803 Filters and Parts and then check out the links on the 2nd post. The manuals are also linked in the thread to right here on Steel Soldiers Technical Manual section
