My oil pressure is usually at 1/4 or a little more when its warmed up (about 800/700 RPM), when im speeding the most it will rise up to is 3/4. I would like to know how much pressure should i have. I also use to have a oil leak from the distributor, but i dont think it would affect the pressure. does anyone have any suggestions? so far, im thinking about replacing the oil pump and getting a oil gauge. My mr2 is stock engine wise, regular 4age. any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

all im asking for is someone with a 86 mr2, usdm, not jdm, stock engine, not supercharge, to let me know where the oil pressure is when it idles, and what rpm, cuz i think my rpms at idle are kinda, i dont know unless you check.

it's a dummy gauge. mine goes up and down also. i think everyone's MkI does.

as long as you're above the 1/2 way mark off idle you're fine

I have an 89 and my oil pressure does the same as yours-no worry that is how they are.
