I have a cherokee 96 4.0. The oil pressure seems to be a bit off? It's a auto.
When started cold the gauge reads around 60 psi. Then once warms seems to drop down to around 40.
Is this norm. My wrangler never did this. Difference for automatic. ? or problem with the gauge? It does seem to drive a bit differnt warm...
Any ideas would be great...

Wow, that sounds like you actually have a working sender and gauge! Most likely the one in the Wrangler was crap.

Somewhere I read that 10 psi per 1k rpm's is ok. So anything under 4000 rpm's at 40 psi should be fine. Also with that many miles in the summer months you may want a thicker oil if it's real hot in your area..
