Oil pressure drop at idle when engines warm, '96 4.0L JGC
Vehicle: '96 JGC 4.0L (108K miles)
I replaced the filter and oil about 3 weeks ago wtih Synthetic Quaker State 4X4 10W30 (first time for synthetic) About a week ago, the oil prssure gauge dropped to 0 when at an idle after the engine was warm. Now that I've been watching it, it normally runs around 40 and drops to 20 when idling. It will still drop to 0 after a while and then if I run the RPM's up a little, it comes right back up. I've been good about replacing the oil before but this was the first time I put Synthetic in it. Could this just be the oil pressure sensor? SB |
Re: Oil pressure drop at idle when engines warm, '96 4.0L JGC
You really didn't want to switch to synthetic in the middle of an engines
life. It could be the sensor but I would also change your oil back to dino oil quickly, if it isn't already to late... Also, don't get fooled by some '4x4' label, because... what the hell does engine oil have to do with 4 wheel drive???

What exactly do you think will happen to an engine if you switch to synthetic (other than decreased wear and less sludge formation)? Note: The time to start using synthetic is after the engine is broken in, not when it's new. I'd say he started a bit late (I generally start at around 20k), but other than the possibility of increased leakage there's no danger to the engine; quite the opposite.

Real Jeepers, Hot Rodders, and people that must depend on their
equipment, use a full set of gauges, Stewart-Warner, or Autometer. And begin repairs as soon as their engine drop out of the safe zones, about forty pounds hot idle for Ford or GM. Probably about half that from what I hear for the the 1929 Nash six.
