I have a 1997 jeep grand cherokee with 135000 miles on it. The problem I am having with it is that the oil pressure drops to 0 while sitting at an idle after the engine is warmed up. Does anyone have any suggestions why this is happening? Thank you

If this is true you would seize the engine, Do you hear any thumping or other noise from the engine? Get a pressure gauge and get a true reading. Most cases of 0 oil pressure it's because of badly worn internal components!
