Oil Pressure Gauge

[Dark Dude]

Seems to go up and down like a yoyo. It never goes above half or below into the danger zone. I'll check the dip stick tomorrow but does anyone have a idea of what is going on?

Mine definately goes above 1/2 but I'd have to watch it to give a proper outline of its behaviour. Might be worth getting your mechanic to hook up a gauge to check it out seeing as you don't know what's normal for that truck. Landcruiser oil pressure gauges often seem to be more a case of knowing what it normally does and looking out for a change in behaviour rather than being a reliable indication of actual pressure.

Thanks Jon for the headz up. Another job for Greg to sort out, me thinks!

John the problem normally lies with the sensor and not the gauge. Mine changed almost overnight. Mechanic removed the sensor and tested the pressure with a normal gauge and perfect in limits. Replaced sensor and readings are back to normal and suddenly gauge is very responsive to RPM.

I think it will work try the previous method again
