wat should oil pressure be on a 4efte?

[billybob]

it also depends on what oil you use

it's about a-series engines, but the principle is the same none the less

my oil pressure is like 20 psi,when oil temp is like 100 degrees at 1000 rps.is it ok .Should I put a washer in the oil pressure relief valve,will it be ok or will the pressure increase ? using Castrol edge 5w40 synthetic

if it works, dont fix it. its fine mate leave it as it is you dont want alot of pressure, seals will start leaking

well wanted to know if 20psi is ok on idle at abt 90-100 degrees temp or its a bit low ?installed a new oil pump

I'm sure the recommended pressure is 1 bar/14.5psi every 1000rpm so you are fine within your current limits.

I used an after market oil pressure sensor in the 4efte oil pressure location because I don’t use it as the engine has been swapped in a Corolla E11. I was thinking to put the OEM oil pressure sensor back and use it with the after market BLINK (quite cheap) gauge. What do you think about it? The sensor that came in the Blink kit already broke so I bought a new one but I don’t want that crap in the engine. So much work to install them and the get broken fast.

You can try it but use a manual gauge to verify accuracy.
Remember that the OEM one is an oil pressure sensor switch and not a pressure sensor.

Very useful. Ok so I will replace the broken aftermarket oil pressure gauge with a new one. Thanks

At around 75c to 80c my oil pressure is ?̤͇̠̹̟͚̗̓́̕͢!̂̋̑҉̷̥̗̞͈̺̻͍͕͟?̦̮͖̦̤̫ͭ̿̌ͪ͆ͨ̕y͈̩͇ͮ͌̈́͞o̴̧̼̙͖͚̙̳̽̈́̋ͤ̈̾u̧͔̲̦͛ͫ̈͂ͭ̓͡ ͕̣̺̣̖͇͍͇͂ͯ̿͋ͨ̆͡g̮̘͇̖̠͐̈́ͣ͆̍̑̒͟ȕ̱̗͈̙͕͇͕̓̆ỷ̢ͬͬͬ̑͏̱̮̟̖̟̺͞s̻̟͎͖̤̯̱̭̾̅̂́͢ ̸̫̥̹͖̩̻̩̺͉̓h̹̱͖̰͑͌͒̈̒ͅa͙̪̱͈̼͓͈̘̲͂̊ͧv̷́͆͗̒ͫ҉͔̤̻ė̵̫̙͈͉͂̋͝ ̴̢͙̖̝̠̣̙͔͈͆Ō̶̸̷̼͓̘͖į̦̥͎͖͖͎͔͈̿ͧ̓̄ͤ͛̄ļ̞͍͍̌̈͢ ̧̜̱̝̿͂͗p̷̳̩͈̯̳ͨ̀ͮ͂̌͜r̎̂̈́͌̄̽͌͏̧̢͕̲ē̱̈̐̒́ͅs̷̘̩̟̍̔̉̒̇͐͒̀s̸̺̖̟͊̓̈̔̽̈̚u̷̱̫̩̙͔̘̝͚͋̐͒̽̈̌̉ͬ̇r̰͓̼̙̣̱̬͚ͯͣ̓͐̅ͯͭͥ͛́͟͠e͌ͩ̎̓̈́ͬ͆͊͏̬?̵͖̳͙̬̯͕̫͎̅́̿̔̏̐̓̄ͧ̕?̸͓̰̩͇̭͖͂ͬͬ͂͋̊ͩͭ?̜͛ͭ̓̒͒̍̚͢ this is due to the fact my oil pressure sensor was not wired up, or configured properly
