2000 toyota tundra oil pressure gauge reading. If for example your normal cruising pressure reading is halfway between 14 and 12 and you see it drop that is an indication of a potential problem. The Toyota dealership said it was normal after they put a new oil pressure switch in. 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.
An oil change and a bottle of lucas helped my gauge readings a far bit. Pressure gauge moves with rpms moves from low to high 14 at idle to 34 at 3000 rpms or higher. Not sure they corrected oil pressure spikes.
I dont agree with what they told me. Take it to the Mechanic. Unscrew and remove the OPSU and thread in the hose or the adapter then the hose.

Put in a mechanical gauge about 4000. 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. It usually occured about 40-50 miles after I had filled up.
The fuel gauge on my 2000 did the same thing about a year ago. Thats probably why they stopped putting actual guages on. General auto certifications 35674 satisfied customers I have an 03 Toyota Tundra wa 47.
