I recently bought an 80 series landcruiser. When I bought it the owner had told me the oil pressure sender needed replacing. (Hes pretty mechanically inclined and trustworthy, friends with my dad) I just replaced it and the oil pressure gauge still isnt working. When I replaced it I wrapped the threads in teflon except for the first 1. There are still 2-3 threads sticking out but i read to hand tighten and then do a half rotation with a wrench. Also the one i pulled out had about 2-3 threads showing.
Curious what I should do next.
Ive thought of getting an aftermarket gauge but im not sure how hard that is to do.
I really don’t want to pull the cluster out because everything inside feels really fragile and i’m worried i’ll break something
Ive also seen people say they go without one and just make sure they have oil in the car. I would just check it manually with a mechanic gauge to make sure I actually have pressure
I’ve driven it about 200 miles and it runs really well but kind of worried since this didn’t fix it.
