Keep hunting for a service manual for your engine. My Onan says ""Normal oil pressure should be 30 psi (207 kPa) or higher when the engine is at normal operating temperature." _ yes, I know it is a totally different engine, just put it out there as a frame of reference.

these tractors r not like a car built to last 200,000 miles.. most tractors today r designed to last about 10 years .. some barely last over a year.. Kohler did make a good engine with the Command series.. but the Courage ones have been a flop in my book.. I've not herd any reports on the Courage 'V' twin models tho.. I think they also changed their name too
