    My sequoia that I just bought Im a little concerned about the oil gauge. It starts out at 1/4 at idle and goes up to 3/4 when accelerating. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

    Mine rises a bit during acceleration. But not that much. And I think it's close to the middle at idle.

    Oil pump is driven by the engine. More rpm, more pressure. Completely normal!.
