What range does your oil pressure usually run at?
What level does your temperature normally sit at?
Maybe if someone would be kind enough to share some readings at
idle
60km
100km
3000rpm

Oil sits low at idle but kicks up when you moving ,sits about half way on the gauge, can't remember what the temp sits on but never been a problem.

Whatever the mechanic puts in it, don't service my own car thats what sponsors ( mechanics ) are for.

Not sure about idle or 60kmph.
At 120kmph (abt.2800 rpm) in summer with aircon on in Nth Qld:
temp up to halfway pulling up big hills,normally just over a third.
Oil pressure just over 3/4 mark,all day.(oil as supplied by Toyota)
Not sure how accurate guages are,but this is what they're reading.
'94 model ,60k.
hope this helps

My temp sits about half way and never moves. The oil will sit low at idle but when on the move goes up to about two thirds.

Temp is hal way unless i have van on back and headwind...then it creeps up a bit.
Oil is above upper mark when started, runs on upper mark when moving, sits on lower mark at idle
I run Castrol R 5w50

My temp also sits at half way and does not move.
Oil pressure seems a bit high though - sits at just above half way at idle and increases to half way between high and the two thirds mark at 3000rpm or more. Might be something to do with the 20w50 that the missus topped up with last month. A little bit thick me thinks!

My oil pressure sits on the high side. A bit above half way at idle and just into the top third of the gauge at 3000. Temp never moves from halfway whether towing or not and all weather conditions.
