Question about oil pressure gauge in 04 Rubicon
 

I have a 2004 Rubicon with 20,000 miles and LOVE it! I have just noticed
when I start the engine my oil pressure gauge stays at 0 for a second or
two then slowly climbs to normal in about 5-10 seconds. I've had my Jeep
for about 6 months and have never noticed it taking so long to get to
normal pressure. Is this normal and I just wasn't paying attention to it
all along.

Re: Question about oil pressure gauge in 04 Rubicon
 

That's very serious on a new car, could be just a stuck check valve
that is replace with every oil filter. A change of oil may fix it, if
not take in to the Stealership and leave it over night for them to at
least document it.

I had the reverse problem, at around 30k, seemed like i was losing pressure.
Mine turned out to be a bad guage.

Good luck.

I'll bet he has a cheap Fram filter in it, or the equivalent.
