Hmmm...So I wonder if the remans have older specs and tolerances than the newer builds because mine with the "recommended" 10w-30 was totally in the gutter pressure wise. Maybe I just need to cultivate some sludge buildup :-)

Mine hit zero sitting in crappy Austin Texas traffic. That's when I decided to change from 10/30 to 10/40. Keeps it just above 10psi on gauge and my annoying little bell and check gauges light doesn't come on. Just curious but how's your temp read?

I was told 500 miles on switching to synthetic. I probably have around 2k on there right now. I do like checking the oil and seeing a clean dipstick though. Yes. Switching to 10/40 Synthetic made a difference and my check gauges light isn't coming on anymore.

Sorry Guys. I did sort of skip some info there. This is a 2000 Cherokee Sport 4dr, Auto, NP 231 (which needs rebuilding), the aforementioned Power torque 4.0. Oil pressure on dash gauge at 1600 when hot will hover around 20-30 psi. Haven't checked mechanical fan clutch yet but even today mid...

Long story short but had OEM motor replaced with Power Torque 4.0 from O'Reilly. Shows oil pressure around 10 psi at idle when warm (195-210). Oil sender replaced twice, temp sender replaced, crank, cam, throttle position senders all replaced. No knocking or weird noises. Checked and cleaned all...
