Just got back from my first winter-visit to my family cabin in the mountains. We've got a 20 year old snowcat with a B5.9 Cummins. When I started it today, it took quite some tome for the oil pressure to come up. Then it was only in the 40# range tops, and at idle would drop to 20ish. I know my uncle changed the fluids in the fall, and suspect he put 10-w30 in it instead of the 15-w40 I would have put in it. My thinking is that the wrong oil is the culprit of the low pressure. Probably was about 25 degrees today, mostly gets used in the 10 to 35 degree range.
Thanks for the help.
