Re: Yanmar 2 QM 15 Oil Pressure Low

Gentlemen, please remember the OP started the thread in 2012 and unless you are responding to rickster1965's post #13, I reckon the advice will be too late for the OP.

Re: Yanmar 2 QM 15 Oil Pressure Low

Shoulda started a new thread.

New engine probably the oil pump/relief valve. Older engine with poor maintenance, probably the oil pump and bearings everywhere.

Sorry rickster 1965 my response was for original post. Your engine may well go for a long time with 20psi oil pressure.
