My first JEEP..............
Hi,I just bought a 2000 Cherokee with 64,000 miles on it 6 cyl.,although the oil looked clean,the previous owner said the jeep had sat for nine months so I did an oil change.I put Quaker State full synthetic 10w-30 in it.
Oil pressure starts out 50 lbs but after a half-hour or so drops down to 25 at an idle.Pops back up to 50 lbs when I drive again(from an idle)
Is that the wrong type of oil to use?
Is that normal?
Is that any indication of the general condition of the engine?
