88 Jeep Comanche 4.0L Renix. 135K miles

I just noticed yesterday that with my engine turned off, the oil pressure gage is still showing around 25 psi.

It could have been this way since I've owned this truck, I only noticed it because I was sitting in the truck listening to a new CD.

Is this normal?
With the engine running, it does climb to around 60 psi, and apparently the engine is getting plenty of oil.

Thanks in advance for any response.

 

Best bet is to purchase a 20 dollar oil pressure gauge/sender from the parts store and install that.

Or get the 3 gauge set and get temp and voltage too!

Well worth the piece of mind.

 

i would try to replace the sensor first. its really unlikely for a oil pump to go out because it is maniacal pump. i personally would never buy auto zone or advance sensors because how faulty they have been for me. i would buy napa or from jeep. if that don't work its your cluster.... then again they say not broke don't fix it...

 

sending unit. I have replaced several over the years.

easy fix.
