Oil pressure gauge reading

[tacorancher]

It certainly approaches it but I've never seen it actually right at the middle(or below). I'll try to pay more attention today if I remember.

Oh so never below? Or never above? Confused.

In a hour or so I’ll start my truck and take a picture of the oil pressure gauge when it’s idling in park. Will that help?

Here’s my oil pressure on a cold engine. I’ll take another picture later today when I go out somewhere

I’m ocd too I know what it feels like lol. I told myself when I bought my 4th gen I’m turning the ocd down big time and for the most part I have since buying it in late June, not once have gone under the truck to look at anything. I just clean it constantly to keep it looking new

It was something to do to distract us man . lol

A lot of 4th gen owners are wondering about things they never thought about before, knowing that Toyota had it covered. Some of that feeling is gone now, even for the die hard Toyota fans like us.

They can win it back for me just by treating us right on this. They have in the past and I believe they will in the future too.

Until then we need to just drive these trucks and enjoy them, which is still a work in progress for me.

Wanted to ask u guys that where does ur oil pressure gauge stays normally when speeding up or when driving steady speed .
i don’t remember what oil pressure use to be when got this new but after my first oil change i stated checking it - it would be 3 lines when speeding up or cold start and 2/5 when steady speed but after my second oil change i noticed a difference - so now it stays around 2/5 to 2/75 lines when reving engine up to speed and 1/75 line during idle and close to 2 lines when steady speed speed . So i saw that oil pressure dropped after second oil change

Used same amount of oil both times 1st time i used mobil 1 full synthetic 0w20 , second time it was liquimoly synthetic

u guys think is it because of different oil brand or some something else . And also is it normal or something wrong

What does it mean when its below half ?? Should I be worried? This is after a 10 min warm and about a 1/2 mile drive

Mines in the middle when idling and goes to 3/4 when I accellerate. It’s winter though and the oil is probably more viscous.

Didn’t really watch it close in the summer.

When my truck's engine is warm and I am not accelerating hard it runs just below the middle. It is normal for it to vary some based on the oil and the temperature, so I would not worry about it.

 

[emidyl]

its fine, fluctuates higher on acceleration, and mine sits just below half at idle. Also tells you theres oil in your system Lol, don't worry enjoy the truck

 

[Sagebrush]

I think my dealer put too much oil in

And what does your dipstick say about this?

I have had another oil change since and didn’t check. I’ve let that one go. Once I am done with the free oil changes I’ll do my own.
