Re: jeep 4L oil pressure
I'm with Earle on this one, but with a caveat.
The oil pressure sending unit could be a problem area that you should look
at before you go in search of the bad bearings. The sending unit uses a
variable resistor of some sort mounted to a diaphram. The diaphram can get a
hole in it, and give strange oil pressure readings. It is common for the oil
pressure to drop at idle, then come back as the engine speeds pick up, but I
don't think that a drop all of the way to zero is right.

Re: jeep 4L oil pressure
Well, if it really goes to 0 at idle, you will 'hear' about it. The
valves will start clacking really fast.
Usually that trouble is the sending unit above the oil filter. They are
poor quality and fail lots. The fact it got worse also implies the
sender is fast going dead.
Second is a main bearing, but again if you have mains that bad, you
should be able to hear a knock or rumble vibration at idle.
