Taggy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Somone was after this information before and I just found it in the manual while having a read this morning, useful to know. Copied straight from manual Toyota Recommended Oil pressure max/min ENGINE OILINGENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEMCrankshaft-driven oil pump provides pressurized enginelubrication.Crankcase CapacityCrankcase capacity with oil filter is 2.9 qts. (2.7L). Oil PressureWith engine at normal operating temperature, oil pressureshould be at least 4.3 psi (0.3 kg/cm) at idle and 36-71 psi (2.5-5.0kg/cm) at 3000 RPM. I checked mine last night and at idle its about 15psi and at 3000rpm around 50psi. Edited February 7, 2014 by Taggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5T4R7ET N/A Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 4.3 psi when at idle?? Sounds more like cranking oil pressure?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I would have thought above 14psi at idle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
