2000 Toyota Tundra Oil Pressure Gauge Reading
I dont feel like searching so here goes in the 2001 Tundra that i just bought the oil pressure gauge fluctuates alot.
2000 toyota tundra oil pressure gauge reading. 165k on the clock and never an issue with actual bad oil pressure. Thats probably why they stopped putting actual guages on. Ive had my 2000 Tundra for 3 years now and just recently the oil pressure gauge went haywire and reads very low when I stop and the increases as I accelerate.
This is with the engine up to temp and tranny in Drive in Park it reads slightly higher. My F-250 doesnt do. Engine sounds and runs GREAT 47L and 123000 on.
It usually occured about 40-50 miles after I had filled up. Oil pressure should be 35- 4 bar at 2000 rpm at operating temperature. Pretty sure its just a crappy gauge design or.
Standard oil pressure at idle is something like 43 psi at idle per Haynes manual. Save Reply A Ando140 Registered 02 Tundra SR5 4x4. New England Tundra Club Member 10 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab Hemi eTorque 4x4 12 Uconnect Air Ride Pano Roof Dearly Missed.
Are we talking low as in just near the low point on the gauge or low enough that the oil pressure light comes on. If you have a suitable oil pressure gauge check the oil pressure at the oil switch. Not all features available on all vehicles and model grades.
I have a 2000 47 and it has done the oil pressure drop since day 1. Be sure to get an adapter with a male 18 BNPT british national pipe thread w25 degree slope to female 18 NPT national pipe thread. Please see your Owners Manual for further details and important safety informati.
