    My first Tundra and new to this group. Changed the oil sending unit but it still sirs low on the gauge. I also changed the oil and filter.

    Should I be concerned? Suggestions?

    Thanks!

    This is an often asked question/concern on the oil pressure reading of our trucks. Our trucks read an extremely low reading at warm idle. It scares people. Situation normal unless your unit tests bad with a meter.

    Yup completely normal. When I bought mine I noticed it was always reading low, but after scouring forums and talking to other owners I realized that's just how they are.
