Well this afternoon when the Jeep is at idle the oil pressure is about 2, and lower that usual throughout the rpms. It got so low on a few stops that the CHECK GAUGES light came on. It is full of oil, not overheating, no funny noises, and it just started this afternoon. What does everyone think?

Well I would assume its the oil pressure switch, aka the sending unit. You can buy them at autozone or any auto store really. If its still reporting super low oil pressure then use a mechanical guage to double check.

Mine did the same thing, my oil pressure kept getting lower and lower until I had zero oil pressure showing on my gauges. Had the oil pressure sending unit changed and now it is back to running normal pressure.
Did you have a chance to replace the sending unit. I'm starting the experience the same issue? I never go down to 0, but the needle is moving around a lot more than usual.
My jeep was broke down for a few weeks had to replace computer it runs good now except the oil pressure gauge doesn't work the shop replaced the sender it didn't help any.Everything else works on the gauge cluster except the oil pressure.
