Help! ! ! ! Low oil pressure.

Post by BigRedCruiser »

My 85 70 series 3.4 non turbo is saying it has low oil pressure,
Its hovering just above the low on the gauge.
There has been no leaking no burning & no oil lights.
Would it be a gauge problem or something more sinister??

Mine has always run at low pressure while I've had it. I haven't done anything about it... and it hasn't either... yet
Sold my 1985, BJ74 MWB Landcruiser, rear locker, 33" MTs, snorkel, PTO winch, solid bars all round, spotties, AM CB etc.
Now just a 1994, 1kz Surf, pretty standard.

buy a reliable aftermarket guage and you will be able to see what the pressure is, and then compare it to factory specs

Hey turns out the pressure switch in the engine was faulty so got it repalced.
Thanks for the info :)
