    I have an 05 Tundra with the 4.0 V6 as the Taco. Same engine and trans.

    Question: I only use this truck on the weekends. Seems after sitting for 4-5 days that oil pressure light takes about 1-2 seconds to go off with very subtle change in the way the engine sounds until the light goes off. If I drive it for a whole week, the light usually goes off instantly Is this normal? No chance of long term damage? Engine has 110k miles

    Thanks for info.

    Normal, and the oil coats the top end so don't stress too much.

    You should see how bad it is to start in -35 lol.

    Depending on you weather
    Maybe drop to 0-30 for weight
    Maybe to thick on very cold days
