Oil Pressure

[1engineer]

Hello. My name is Dave, and I just want some gauges.

Anybody know the thread size of the oil pressure idiot light switch? :ybrick:

Perfect!

Hmm - and I thought you had already bought three different gauges/switches from different sources and know the thread pitch - - -

Again: "As far as I can tell, Toyota doesn't make oil pressure or temperature available on the bus - if they did I would be looking at the values on my ScanGauge, and avoid this while thing."

If anyone has information to the contrary - please lemme know.

Oil temperature is available, but nobody has figured out which PID it is yet.

Nope, I only bought the one $13 switch from O'Reilly's, and my original post was made before doing so, just in case I had trouble finding one locally to look at. I still don't know what the threads are - NPT, SBPT, metric of some sort, size? All I have is a sample, and it's sorta hard to order a gauge sender / adapter if you can't tell 'em explicitly what the thread size is. "About the size of my pinkie" doesn't cut it.

Thanks for the hopefully useful information. I'll have a look at the post.

[Edit] A great read - thanks! Hot damn - looks like I can monitor my power steering pressure! Maybe it's time to root around on the interwebs and scare up a copy of Techstream. Looks like some fun stuff...
