Title: Oil pressure
Post by: ottawajeep on June 20, 2009, 05:53:39 PM

Just curious what everyone's instrument cluster oil pressure readings are when driving around town. I have a 94 xy sport with 256,000, oil pressure readings are just above 3 on the guage hwy. and around 1.5 at idle. My friend has a 95 xy sport with 136,000 and her readings a little higher than mine.
Obviously her engine isn't as seasoned as mine but just wanted to know what the majority of jeep owners readings are.
Thanks ;)

I never paid to much attention to change, but Mine is just above the halfway mark and stays there all the time.  Only dropping a bit when the engine is really hot.

I use Castrol 10W30 with Lucas oil stabilizer

5 liters of castrol and 1 liter of Lucas
