LandCruiser oil pressure issue

I'm writing to report an issue with my 2007 Toyota LandCruiser, diesel engine, 192944 km on the clock. The oil pressure light comes on and off, and there are mechanical noises from the engine. I think it's the oil pump. Anyone seen this before?

I have a LandCruiser with a similar diesel setup. Your symptoms sound like what I had last year. Does the oil pressure fluctuate, especially at lower engine speeds? What oil are you using?

Thanks. The oil pressure does fluctuate, mostly at lower speeds. I'm using the recommended oil. What was the fix for your issue? Was it the oil pump?

For me, it was about to fail. I'd get it checked by a mechanic to see how bad it is. With those noises, I wouldn't drive it until you sort out the oil pressure.

Thanks for the help. I took it to a mechanic, and they said it was a bad oil pump. The repair was 755€, including parts and labor. It's running fine now. Thanks again.
