    Tacoma has a pressure sensor, that turns on the low oil pressure warning light, if the oil pressure drops below a set value. They don't have a sending unit that produces a variable signal, that can be read as a pressure value on a gauge.

    The four cylinder also has no manifold pressure sensor, so you won't get that reading on your Ultra gauge, either.

    I bought the Ultra Gauge hoping for the same thing (oil pressure). I guess I am going to start looking into getting a separate gauge installed somewhere. Bummer, I hate to install gauges, it kind of ruins the look of the dash/cluster.
