Fixed (?) Oil Pressure Gauge Needle OffSet


Recommended Posts

Hello, Everyone

 

I know this seems like an unimportant thing to complain about, but today, while driving, I noticed that my oil pressure was too high.

 

I pulled over and shut the engine off to investigate, only to discover that my Oil pressure Gauge Needle is Offset, and I don't know how it happened, is this normal?

 

The gauge seems to read just fine, just with an offset of almost half the sweep

 

Does anyone have a fix for this?

 

I don't have OCD or anything but I just find it very annoying, since the truck has less than a year with me

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Here are a couple of pics, truck completely off, and at idle:

The oil pressure bounces around on mine too. I think mine normally bounces from low psi to medium psi though. I think its normal and have ignored it for a couple of years.

Mine does not bounce around, behaves normally, just offset to the right

I know in my toyotas I've owned, I could use techstream and test each gauge. You would put in the value you were looking for and the gauge would attempt to display the value. I'm sure there's something like this for these trucks, even if you have to bring it in.

 

But yeah, that doesn't look right.
