probably just a bad oil pressure sending unit. check for a loose connection at the sending unit. if it's ok, replace the sending unit.

I assume this happens more when it is cold outside? This was a very common problem for Fords in that yuear range. Go to the DEALER and get an oil pressure switch. It will fix the problem. One note though, more than likely you have a 4.0L, and it is a little tough to get to it.

Oil looses its thickness (viscosity), by way of warmth and use. while the rigidity drops you're no longer retaining the engine as you ought to. while grow to be the final time the motor vehicle grow to be serviced? Oil and clear out replace? Your Battery lite might additionally be appropriate as a warning to you which you would be able to ascertain your engine. Have your mechanic examine your charging gadget.

when its cold outside it takes longer for the oil to get to all the engine parts and or your oil sending unit. just don't race the motor right after you start it as that can do damage to it.

Oil pressure sensor (screwed into the engine block) is bad.
