    Ok, best approach yet. Stepped through the symptoms, and the test, then the repair. Nice.

    I have discovered several engines over the years that had lower engine noise, and it had turned out to be the vibration damper pulley, or a crack in the flywheel. Heck we even had a 455 Buick once that was knocking because the previous owner dented the oil pan with a floor Jack..

    Most people don't know that low oil pressure on the 4.0 is caused by worn out cam bearing, if the gauge and sensor prove good, the next place to look is cam bearings.

  • @claycoates5056

    WOW Yes what is the cylinder presser it may be time the nice part is that the bearings can be replaced along with the oil pump and this is a lot cheaper then reworking the hole thing and this will give GOOD reslates and the time to gather up the money for the rebuild in a year or so

    My 2000 XJ wjth 177k stays around 10-13psi cold or warm and never moves when operating. Gonna try a seafoam treatment, oil change and the sensor. Fingers crossed.

    At 200,000 miles your oil pressure should be higher than that. You may want to try 3 OCI of Mobil 1 HIGH MILEAGE 10w40 at 3K each, and then re-evaluate situation....Is this burning or leaking?

  • @michaelbehringer9812
    @michaelbehringer9812 Год назад

    So it’s normal for the pressure gauge to sit on the lower side while at idle? And it’s normal for it to be climbing up to 40?

  • @brandoncofino9692
    @brandoncofino9692 Месяц назад

    Great video man. I have an issues with my 2000 XJ. Runs good but just like this once warmed up oil pressure drops to right above 0. But once you start driving again it builds back up and the check gauges light goes off. So I tried to swap the sensor and my car went from a smooth idle to a really rough and tumble idle and sounded really bad plus the check gauges light remained on. So I put the old sensor back on and it ran smooth again despite check gauges light coming on when idle. Not sure. The sensor on here looks the same except a slight difference from all the other videos I’ve seen. Not sure how I should approach this situation

    I don’t get mine it has been dropping to zero even after complete oil change.. the first time I did it myself and put thicker oil and it didn’t do it for a long time.. but I can let the Jeep idle for 30 minutes with air conditioner running and it stays at the line before 40 never drops.. but when I drive it for awhile it only drops at the stop light until I accelerate. I thought maybe bad oil sending unit but it works just while running and parked in my driveway.. the oil pump has to be working because the engine sounds fine for a 97 Jeep grand Cherokee 6L.. I’m lost of what to do.. The oil changing place put in 10w 30 but seems it only does it while I drive them stop if I go no where it runs fine..

    Drive it till it dies. Then install another 4.0. These are so cheap & easy to rebuild.

    i just changed the oil pump and sensor after constantly having 0 oil pressure ( max 20 oil pressure on cold starts ) now my cold start oil pressure is about 50psi but soon drops off after warming up. When hot , idle oil pressure is 10, it never goes lower, and maintains around 30-35 psi with highway driving. I think that’s just the maximum oil pressure that can be achieved since my 4.0 has 220k miles… i think the oil pressure would be better if i changed the pump sooner because it ran way too long on almost 0 oil pressure even at 2k+rpm. regardless the oil pressure is never at check gauges anymore. i always have oil pressure so i guess that’s all that matters lol, i’ll prob rebuild it after another 50k miles

    I though that my 2000 Cherokee was not giving me correct readings. Put on manual gauge no oil press. bought an exchange engine from a local rebuilder installed the motor and the same exact thing, no oil press. Rebuilder says I installed it wrong?

      Yeah it helps clean up the sludge build up. But I wouldn’t recommend using it often because it causes the oil to lose its lubricating properties.

      @@ohvcentral9400 so I actually replaced my pump and pick up tube. It was completely gunked up. I did that and it worked better but still would do it. What I did after that is put a fitting on the oil pressure sensor hole and ran the truck for a couple seconds and revved it some and put it back together. I haven’t really had no oil pressure issues after that.
