I have a Sunpro Oil Pressure Gauge in my ride right now...it reads 10 PSI at normal operating temp when at idle and about 40 PSI at 3000 rpm. Anyway, I want to upgrade to an electric one and AEM is a good brand.
Is this installation going to be as easy as the Sunpro Gauge installation? Is it accurate compared to a mechanical gauge like my Sunpro? |

No, mine's good. I even called Toyota and had them pull the specs out for my specific year and model (cause I thought that was really low too) and the mech said that OEM spec says it should be a minimum of 4 PSI at idle and at least 35PSI at 3000 RPM. Just call up a local Toyota place near your location. I had the guy double check his sources too because I couldn't believe it. Presure2 informed me his was at about 12 PSI at idle.
Additionally, I even pulled out the Haynes book just now for our gen. and it reads 4.3 PSI at idle. |
