5VZ-FE installing oil pressure guage
I want to install an aftermarket oil pressure guage in my 4runner, where on the engine can I access an oil pressure reading?

The sender for the idiot light is towards the front of the motor on the driver's side, behind the alternator.
To add a gauge, you would have to remove that and lose your idiot light, or get a "Y" adapter to run both.

There are a few extra oil ports next to the oil filter. They have lugs int hem from the factory. Just pop them out and put the sensor wherever you want. The ports are 3.8" so you will need an adapter. I have both my oil pressure and oil temp sensor in those ports.

Any chance of a link to the 3/8s adapter that you are referring to?

I got mine at home depot. Just your basic 3/8 NPT to 1/4 NPT adapter.
I think technically it is a BST (SP?) thread but the NPT works fine with some teflon tape.
