High Oil Pressure Reading - Sending Unit?
Quick question for y'all.
'99 TJ Sahara, 128K miles, no major engine repairs yet except for the
exhaust manifold. Last oil change was about a month ago, with synthetic
5W30.
We got hit with the cold today, and on the drive home from my
mother-in-law's, I saw that the oil pressure gauge was at 80. It normally
runs the 20-60 range. The engine seemed to warm up quicker than it usually
did (but then it had been driven for 2 hours on the way up, and only sat for
about 3.5 hours before we headed home). When I took off the gas, the
pressure gauge came down to 60. As we continued driving, it slowly crept
down, so by the time we got home half an hour later, it was at 60 at 2000
RPM, and 40 at idle. The engine temp stayed at 210.
Some quick research showed that this is probably the oil sending unit, but
the fact that the pressure gauge dropped over the course of the drive home
has me wondering - if it were a bad sending unit, wouldn't it have stayed at
80?
Thanks for any thoughts or recommendations.

Not always. Might pull the electrical connector off the sending unit
(down by the oil filter), clean it, and put it back.

A little crud knocked loose by your switch to synthetic may also be the cause.
(If you neglected oil changes prior to this. IF you did regular changes 3,000
-4,000 miles then this probably isn't the case)

Re: High Oil Pressure Reading - Sending Unit?
I would be suspicious of a failed filter. If the filter fails
internally, the oil pressure spikes and the bypass valve shunts it past
the filter.
