Does this look good? I'll get a better gauge one of these days.

Perfect.. 28.5 psi

And if its stock, it will never differentiate. The stock oil pressure gauge shows center (pressure) or nothing (no pressure, or bad sensor/gauge). So useless that I removed the silly dash coin holder (for 4x4 models, the switch is there) and installed a true oil pressure gauge in its place along with sender and an engine oil cooler.

On my 04 it shows a tad over half way. When I changed the oil at first start up it was low then went right passed the half way mark to where its been since.

I also have the coin holder on my 2wd. Can you show a pic of what you did. Im interested to see how it looks. Sounds like a good idea.

Most in this generation sit just over the halfway mark like that. Don't trust that gauge for much though. It's just a dummy gauge.

So annoying that it isn't a real gauge. I take it the start up rattle after an oil change is normal since there's no oil in the tensioner upon changing the oil? Sound went away after 3-5 seconds and I never heard it again 5 months later.

So this is just a feel good gauge.

Gauge does nothing in the traditional sense as others have stated. Just a fancy idiot light. A real gauge will require you to go mechanical or electric.

At least it shows you when there is a need for action...
