I recently saw a product from Baxter performance which is a replacement oil filter mount. Changes from cartridge to spin on filter. Anyone don’t this? Does this solve the low oil pressure issue? ‘18 LC 200

There isn't a low oil pressure issue. Tens of thousands of landcruisers show 1/4 gauge while cruising for collectively.. billions of miles.. with only very rare engine failures. It's just how the gauge is setup.I recently saw a product from Baxter performance which is a replacement oil filter mount. Changes from cartridge to spin on filter. Anyone don’t this?

Thank you for the info! As you can tell I am/was ignorant on the issue but now crossing it off my list of upgrades. ThxThere isn't a low oil pressure issue.

Hypothetically if there were a low oil pressure issue adding lines to a system that had one would only increase the friction of the oil flowing through those lines and exacerbate that problem.
Someone here did install a baxter system so you'd need to search, plenty of discussion there, including debate about whether it was smart to add points of failure to an otherwise extremely reliable lubrication system.
Thank you, but for the record, full throttle getting on the highway my gauge never gets to half. ThanksThe pressure changes with RPM. It looks low (1/3 of the range) when cursing but if you rev the engine it goes to half the range of the scale.
As said ^ no reason to change it.

Yeah if you read here or tundra forums with the same engine, or really almost any toyota “truck” platform, it appears to be an engineering strategy to have the oil pressure read low on the gauge. I really don’t know why.. but it is so common, and engine failures so rare, it is clearly how they were designed.Thank you for the info!

Go cruise around in 1st gear at 5000 RPMs and you'll see it get to (or slightly above) the halfway point.Thank you, but for the record, full throttle getting on the highway my gauge never gets to half. Thanks
