    Did my first oil change on my new to me QSB 5.9 2007 vintage. After priming filter and re filling with fresh oil , low oil alarm was activated . Codes 415 and 143. I have 1640 hrs. I’ve read previous post about the diesel view but as a precautionary measure I would like to hook up a mechanical gauge . Where do you hook it up at and fitting sizes I’m going to need , ty in advance this is my mounting plate

    15 -20 secs before alarm sounded . I did have 3 qts in engine so I’m thinking engine got lubed till I shut down . Rookie mistake !!

    Thanks for sharing the cause. This will help others avoid the same error.

    How long did the engine run with no oil?

    I screwed up , not an engine issue . Like I said first time with a change out system. The pump is facing aft, I miss judged port for starboard and drained out the oil after refilling, and never checked the dip stick . Stupid mistake !!!
