Low Oil Pressure?

[Guest]

I have a KZT in a 70, and my oil pressure guage has always read like yours,
Martin, and it's now on 112,000 miles with no probs. When I bought it, 4
years ago, it worried me so I talked to Sarah Turner who lives near me and
who has driven her KZJ 70 with the same 3-litre td engine all over the place
- including a mammoth winter trip from Anchorage in Alaska to Arizona - and
she said hers has always been the same too. In fact I now get paranoid on
cold mornings after an oil change when the guage approaches the upper of the
two marks! Use a genuine Toy oil filter is my only advice - and don't
worry.

Hi John,
Yea you could be right, just ignore it probably is best, it's done 300 miles
now and is still going...
I am just concerned that I have had a dramatic loss in oil pressure and why
it could have happened.
Does yours sit right above the L mark when fully warm at idle?
Martin.
