Cold start oil pressure and while driving (1 Viewer)

[PatrickBateman]

Is my oil gauge normal on cold start?

Also while driving it stays at the half mark till about 15-30mins of driving at settles right above the quarter mark.

Is the oil too thick? Should I go with 0w-20?

Normal. More noticeable now with the fall temperatures. I stick to the manual - 5w30.

Thank you for the response. I just bought this 05 lx470 and it’s such a blast

Mine behaves identical to what you are describing. And that's AFTER I replaced the pressure sensor. Rock and roll.

Same as above, acts just like mine after replacing the pressure sender. 5w30 synthetic oil and Toyota filter.
