Default oil pressure
Well this afternoon when the Jeep is at idle the oil pressure is about 2, and lower that usual throughout the rpms. It got so low on a few stops that the CHECK GAUGES light came on. It is full of oil, not overheating, no funny noises, and it just started this afternoon. What does everyone think?
