Hi Dousty, I know this is a very old thread, however if you're still on here, how did you resolve the issue?

For completeness. This is the thread that discusses removing the gauge cluster and setting the needle back to zero. FJ60 oil pressure gauge fried - how to fix? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fj60-oil-pressure-gauge-fried-how-to-fix.1279413/

I’ll give that a go.

Hey everyone. Is there a fix for an oil pressure gauge that is presenting incorrectly? It does move up a little when the engine is turned on but never goes above the Low mark? Oil pressure is fine. Thoughts?

The Penrite 15W-50 is Semi Synthetic with added zinc. I would consider switching to the Penrite 15W-40 mineral someone can make me believe it’s a step forward. 12HT, 300k. Runs like a champ

I think your going to use a bit of oil doing km’s like that if your towing nothing. I’m using the Penrite 15W-50 Semi Synthetic HPR. Seems to be ok but I’d like to be corrected if needed

To complete this thread, screen shot of pg. 522 referring to removal on the sunroof panel only. Get a copy of the manual if you need to remove the guide rails, motor etc.

Seth, you are an absolute legend! Thank you! When I workout how to do it, I'll update this thread with clear details for others to follow.

Nope.

True, just thought I’d leverage this thread instead of starting anything new. I’m in the process of looking for a copy of the chassis and body repair manual that covers my 1988 HJ61 cruiser. Apparently some notes on how to get it out in there.

Hi Red Rattler, so can I get the sunroof out without removing the headliner, interior lights etc? Can you access all 10 nuts from inside the vehicle and then feed the sunroof out through the top?

Great Post! I love seeing the data.
