No Start No Oil Pressure

I need help. I added a engine oil treatment, designed for a diesel engine, today. The truck ran for about 5 min and stalled. When I went to go restart the truck, I had no oil pressure and the truck would not start. If you turn the key and let it crank for about 10-15 sec, the oil pressure guage goes up, but the truck won't start. I need help. Any ideas, or costs? The engine has 101K miles on it and I have never had a problem with it. Just bought this truck back in Dec 07 and had no history of the truck.

Is the oil full? Did you do anything other that add the treatment?

"Restore" Engine restore and lubricant. It said on the back for use with diesel engines. Oil is clean and crankcase is full, no visible oil leaks. Oil change and filter 1100 miles ago. I also used a fuel injector cleaner with my fill up today, but I drove almost and hour with the injector cleaner in the fuel tank. The cleaner was also made for diesel fuel systems and engines.

Hmm generally you don't want to add oil treatments to the heui system. Probobly would be fine on a common rail injection system. Honestly don't know if that brand is okay or not with the high pressure oil system. I wonder if its foaming and causing you issues

I guess start with the basics and make sure you batteries are fully charged you need at least 10.5 volts while cranking for the pcm to fire the injectors. Check to make sure you fuel pump is working and your getting fuel to the bowl. Also if you have a scanner read any codes you might have. Could possibly be the cps also.

Yea i would be willing to bet its more of a cps issue and it sounds like the oil treatment is just a coincidence.

I had it towed to a local shop yesterday. I haven't heard back from them yet.
