Curious if I can set my idle up just a hair with the Alphaobd? it on a 2018 EcoDiesel. At idle when its hot the oil pressure gets down to 19 psi at stop lights.
just wondering
Thanks

Unless you've added an actual oil pressure sensor/gauge, the value on the dash is a calculated value based on the engine rpm and oil temperature reading. Not to worry, the Cummins engine both the oil temperature and pressure are calculated values.
The answer to your question is No AlfaOBD can not raise the idle speed on the EcoDiesel.
MrTuning at EOC can help with a custom tune but the perceived low oil pressure at idle is a non-issue with the EcoDiesel. Unlike the Hemi, it has dual overhead cams that don't suffer lack of lubrication at idle.
