Not to be a nervous pervous...
i wouldn't call myself nervous but while my 4.0 is running, the oil pressure needle is steady between 60 and 80 psi. should ijust change the oil or is there a bigger problem here?

Does it fluctuate at all with the rpm's?
Could be a bad oil pressure switch. I replaced mine recently when my oil pressure gauge stayed solid around 80psi.
All is good now.

Replace your oil pressure sending unit. It is a VERY common failure on the 4.0. When they fail, they usually read abnormally high readings.
I recommend purchasing this part directly from Jeep for best reliability/accuracy/mating with your factory gauge.

Just an fyi, when you look for the part, it may be labeled "oil pressure switch" or "oil pressure sender." It's the same thing. I picked mine up from Advance Auto for around $45.
