1991 Montero oil pressure drops after driven a while. Owners only asking $2500.00 for it. All reviews state a good / solid vehicle. Will be used for a daily driver.

The actual oil pressure should be tested with a mechanical gauge after it drops to see what it really is. If the pressure is normal, the sending unit for the gauge is the likely suspect. If the pressure really is low, suspect worn engine bearings.
