Oil pressure drop
I just dropped a remanned engine in my 94 Runner. I noticed while driving around town that the oil pressure gauge drops as the RPMs drop. In other words, when I am accelerating or the engine is under load the gauge is at about 1/2. When I coast or decelerate, it slowly drops. At idle it's at about 1/3. Is this normal? When I got the truck it wasn't running so I don't have anything to compare it to. I reused the old sender unit.
I've seen this in a few other posts, always w/ high mileage engines, but never an answer how to fix it or if it needs to be fixed.
