Hi All,
With the junkyard gage pod I was able to get a working oil pressure gage on my Montero this weekend, unfortunately the results weren't what I was hoping for. I have an OEM pressure sensor that I recently installed, and am running 15W40 non-synthetic with OEM Mitsu filter. At cold startup (80F) I'm idling at about 30psi and then at operating temp I'm seeing ~15-20psi at driving speeds (~2500 RPM). The FSM states an idling pressure of >11.4psi is acceptable, but the driving pressure seems low to me.

What pressure should I be expecting at the 2-3k RPM range?
