Thread: High oil pressure, Is a worry?

2 things changed...

Oil and Filter....

For sake of ease...Spin on a new Ryco Filter

If no joy.... Start looking elsewhere!!!!

I agree with you Tombie, I know tah Donaldson filters were good, I used them on tractors but it is more than a coincidence that the perure plunger it is going to play up just when I changed the filter.
The engine has a little use, 100000 km in 14 years, so the possibility of residues on the bottom of the sump is there

Now if you didnt have an oil pressure guage you would be driving around with no worries at all

If it had been a navara with the 3 litre diesel,it would have blown the seal on the oil filter & pumped all its oil out,as my son found out the hard way.I presume the Patrol would do the same as engine is similar.Common fault when the oil pressure relief valve does not do its job,for whatever reason,usually at cold startup with these engines

Arthur. I would try a master guage first. If you have an electric guage / sender. could save a lot of work. Just a thought. Mark

I know but to me engine temperature and oil presure gauges are a must and an essential instruments to helping you with the preventative maintenance
