this is normal, save your $$$Cruz wrote:Hello! First off I just bought a 2005 4.0L SE with 84,xxx on the odo. It was a one owner and had an extremely clean car fax. I checked all the fluids before purchase and everything checked out, including the ATF fluid. It was the color it was supposed to be and no milky coloring at all so I did the bypass the night I got it to ease my mind. The car runs perfect and smooth and is extremely clean but there is one thing that is kinda bugging me a little. The oil pressure gauge. I have read on here that the 05 pathfinders have an actual real time gauge as where in 06+ they have a dummy gauge that is always in the middle and only goes down of there is a significant lose of pressure. So my questions is, how much should the real time gauge fluctuate? On the gauge it only reads L and H and there is two lines next to the L and two lines next to the H, I'm guessing the spot in between the lines is the safe zone. So when started cold the pressure immediately goes to the middle and stays there until warm. After the engine is warm the pressure only lowers at idle but it never goes past the fist line before the L. It always stays in the "safe zone" and there has been no check oil light or check engine light that has come on. The car doesn't run rough when at idle and as soon as you take off the pressure is right back in the middle until I come to idle again. In our opinion does it sound normal?
