I just purchased a 1993 Jeep Wrangler yj, 4cyl. 90,000 miles. Runs extreamly well, but instantly when I start the engine the oil pressure guage reads 80. I've been told several different things from different sources. I"M CONFUSED NOW! Is this something that I need to fix? How do I fix this?

Find the oil pressure sending unit-remove and hook up an oil pressure tester to it and read the oil pressure-if its normal-replace the oil pressure sending unit. If its too high-check the oil pressure relief valve on the oil pump.
