    Had the "low oil pressure" light flash on here. IMAG0399.jpg

    And here.

    But both went away once I leveled out. They also only came on after about 30-45 seconds of being at that incline.

    That will be a huge pain if this turns into anything, almost like the BMW X series tsb that said not to idle the engine because it could hydrolock on its own oil. I can see it now: 2016 Toyota Tacoma TSB: "advise customer not to drive or park on slope of any kind as engine will starve itself of oil". I guess my tacoma can stay in the driveway and I'll offroad in my Oldsmobile.... God I hope BlueT is full of shit.

    Just to confirm, this was low oil pressure and not low oil level light that flashed. Also, is your oil level at full?
    This post also suggests that getting a low oil pressure (or low oil level) light will not stop the engine. That other post where the guy said he had a low oil pressure light and then the engine stop becomes suspicious or, at least the details do.

    OP, when you restarted your truck was it still at the same angle or had you rolled to a flatter section before restarting?

    Maybe might previous post is useless. I thought he saw an oil light but just didn't capture it. I knew there was a TPS light on.

    Lol I know I'd sure be happy if it's just the tpms light! I miss the days when the idiot lights just said what they were. Not these stupid symbols you have to look up in the manual every time.

    There has only been one posted problem that has been confirmed by a dealer. The guy who gets low oil pressure after parking on incline. This thread appears to be a one off event that can't be reproduced and the only other problem was the guy who thinks he has a power steering leak even though nothing is leaking. So, we have one incident so far. That is enough to make someone not buy?
