Oil psi question
I change my oil every 3000 miles to the nose. I noticed however with my jeep at idle the psi is around 38 pounds and driving and wheeling its upwards of 45-50 pounds. So I was wondering if this is "normal" or if its to high

At idle it should be around 15-20lbs and the high you are seeing is fine,I have botht the stock and mechanical guage,both read the same. You may have a sensor issue.
