b6100 oil light help

Sounds like a potential bearing issue. I think the light comes on at 7 psi; sounds like it's working. Get a mechanical gauge and check the actual pressure. If it's really 7 psi, time to rebuild something. It may be the bearings, may be the oil pump or mnight be a bad pressyre relief??? Can't think of anything else it could be.

Where do i tap in with a manual oil gauge?Also the oil is already black as coal .Maybe 20 min run time sense oil change.
I'd change the oil and filter again, this time you might want to use some good diesel rated oil, I use Shell Rotella from WalMart in my diesels. It's not unusual for diesels to dirty the oil quickly though. Do as suggested and install an oil pressure guage in the hole where the sender is currently threaded in. Might get lucky and your sender is shot, that happened to me last fall. You won't know till you check the pressure though.
mine was the cam plug blown out. Lots of labor, low parts cost. Search "low oil pressure" on this site.
Ok update. I changed the oil and filter agin with good oil this time,and instaled a manual oil gauge.At start up it was 10psi after running a while it it bounced between 7 an 10 psi.and at full throtle it only got up to 20psi.Any ideas?
ken, did you find the post I made about low oil pressure?? There's pictures and a long process that I went thru to find the problem. Read it, it might save you some time.
ipz, is this the thread?

There is no rebuild "kit" -- you'll need to order by part number. You may be able to find all the gaskets in a "kit". Check E-Bay.
Check that cam plug first ---- while it's not exactly an easy job, it's a lot easier than pulling the whole engine.
