The oil pump is standard gerotor pump with a relief valve.
Yes, the Volvo did have a boat attached. The dealer received the info I have from Volvo. I'm just curious if anyone else has had experience with this engine or has any other info.

Suggest reading through the following link. It explains the system, and objectives, pretty well. It doesn’t provide the specifications that are sought. I’ll see if these can be learned elsewhere. I did look at sensor parameters for VP’s Generation V V6-250-___-___ a few days back. There are low and high limits. Low is defined, high is not. I’ll post low later today after reviewing anew.

Cannot disagree. Regarding low oil pressure, for this motor, < 5 PSI @ 550 RPM and < 30 PSI @ 5,500 RPM.
Next step… imagine Cats and sensors for lawn mowers. The complexity added to everyday stuff is astonishing. I still remember the first time I learned a PCB was part of a plain, tried and true, natural gas water heater a couple of decades back… not so happy.
Based on bench testing, at approx. 4.8v the sensor alarms. This corresponds to about 112 PSI. Looking at other motors with this sensor and series of ECMs, that’s the high OP trigger. But, I don’t have specs. for your serial number so can’t be 100% certain. I’m with everyone else… OP seems high when cold. Perhaps look at two things, while not disbelieving the dealer’s statement, is oil level correct and correct weight? There are a variety of pressure control solenoids and also the cam phaser driven by OP, so… As to new and the only motor, it’s not new per se. It’s a G5, we’re at year six or seven IIRC and there are ample Cat versions in circulation. The novelty is no Cats in a time when Cats are standard. The extra 10 HP is the tune or Cat delete. Each of the G5 motors has two HP offerings. If you want the higher of the two, some $ paid and VP “unlocks” it. I do recommend reading and following the breakin procedure.
