    Took the 2018 Tundra in as the oil pressure gauge showed nothing. They checked the oil pressure said it was fine and it was the sensor. They had one in stock and put it on and it didn't work. Took it in today, they put another one on and told me I was good to go. Halfway home I noticed it still showed no pressure, just like before. Is this normal? There should the gauge be reading?

    Not normal. It should register pressure.

    Prob an electrical issue to the guage. The motor would have seized by now with no oil pressure.

    Defective gauge cluster? If your current dealer can't figure it out, maybe try another dealer.

    My 2018 reads 1/2 on the gage which is normal for me, 3/4 when cold. With 0W20 Mobil 1

    I would bring it back. A reliable oil gauge is essential and no oil gauge would drive me nuts. Insist they give you a pro loaner.
