JayJ Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 1.5 - 2bar on idle depending on used oil, temp, engine wear etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Does the light flicker? Or is it just on constantly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 im sure toyota recommend minimal of 7psi oil pressure at warm idle.the thing is its thought of as very lower pressure in reality and you will find on a good engine you will actually have 15psi at warm idle im sure.so in conclusion 13-15 is whats normal and recommended.

curtis1932 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Ryt so it is idleling at 5bar and wene drivng it went to its highest point 0f 7 bar. The funny thing is the light dint come on this time were it normaly would of i lost about half a liter of oil putting that night mare of a sandwich on could that have anything to do with the light not coming on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Half a litre won't be enough of a loss to make the light come on. Replace the pressure switch on the front of the block, that's what normally plays games with you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
curtis1932 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 So i drove around for like 20 mins till the oil light came on and wene it did ther is no change in the presure which is a relif i think? Now i just need to figer out why it is coming on have u got a pik of this presure switch mate and could it be a sensor or something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayJ Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It's a good thing that you are not losing the pressure, could be the switch or wiring problem.Switch looks like this and is located here, under the slave cylinder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
