What sort of reading (numbers) should I expect to get in my 60 with a manual oil pressure gauge? It's a stock 2F and I'm running 10w-40 in it, outside temp in the 90s.
You are asking for a ballpark. At cold idle, 45 psi. Hot 2000 RPM 40-45psi, Hot Idle -10-20. I'll try to look it up tonight. These # are from my FJ40 with a 2F. My 60 always reads at 2/3 the guage at speed or at idle, but I havn't measured the pressure.
Surprisingly, it was really easy to install. My OEM gauge doesn't work at all, so I removed the sending unit and the wires and tapped right into the old location under the oil filter. The only promlem I had was the oil line was a little short and I didn't get to feed it through the way I would have liked to. I'll buy some more like and redo it later - it was just good to get it in and get it working.
Thanks for the ballpark - that's all I really needed. Cold, it was running at about 55/60 psi at idle. Figure it'll come down a bit once it's warm...I feel better though...wasn't sure if that was too low or not.
