So I changed my oil today and for some reason now my cluster is reading just above the 0 on my cluster. I checked for leaks and everything is tight. It's never happened on any of my Jeeps. Any ideas??

Sorry I posted this from my phone last night. my oil presssure gauge is reading just above 0 on my cluster.

more importantly, she overheated this morning on the way to work. I'm assuming the two are related but who knows.

More info would help.

What year? 4.0 or 2.5? How many miles? etc.etc.

Did you change the filter? If yes, you may have knocked the sender loose. If no, the filter could have collapsed or clogged.

It was a Mopar oil filter. I checked it out and sure enough the oil pressure sending unit was snapped in half. Replaced it and all seems to be well. Thanks for the help guys!
