    Is anybody here put an oil pressure gauge on the engine? Would love to hear what the pressure readings are for various oil. Viscosities

    Is the sensor included in techstream? or do we have to go old school to watch the pressure?
    I haven't found an app yet that includes it. unless there are already pids in torque and torque doesn't like my old mini

    The Gen 4 Prius does not have an oil pressure transducer. It only has an oil pressure switch to indicate low oil pressure. You would need to add an oil pressure transducer to the car to be able to view the oil pressure or add a gauge.

    Thanks
    I found this tube that shows a hole in the block ( tear down ) from old oil left in engine too long.
    A nice addition to the Gasket Masters Prius watch list,
