I have around 80K on my Jeep TJ. Recently the oil pressure has been dropping. It has always read around 40psi. After driving and the engine warms up (20 miles) or so. The oil pressure starts dropping. If I rev the engine it will send it back to normal but drops as soon as I stop reving the engine. It has once dropped all the way down to where the engine shut off on its own but only once. I don't drive the Jeep very often but on a trail ride a few years ago, about 20K miles ago, as I started up steeper inclines the pressure would drop like that but only on steep sections. It never did it while regularly driving so I never thought much about it.
