fwiw my new vatozone sending unit bounces from 10-30 psi at idle and refuses to go over 40lb at any time. a mechanical gauge showed otherwise. seeing the dash gauge show "low" oil pressure is unnerving to my passengers and myself at times. keeps making me feel like I should check it with a real gauge again haha

you tell me. I'm the Midwesterner and you're the border dweller. my phone autocorrects to vatozone I've used it so much. not even a red squiggley line under it anymore.

My 01 started this check gauge garbage last year at idol hot.
I found oil in the connector I douched the connector with electrical cleaner all was well till it got full of oil again. replaced sending unit with one from oreilly its been golden since. I have had the pan off and engine looks pretty good considering the miles (almost 200k) wife bought jeep new its been kept up oil changes atleast.
