I noticed on my last trip in the Gen I Montero, my oil pressure guage stayed at the first line I believe it just says "2" at the first line then "4" then "6" as the oil pressure goes up.

Is that normal? I would have thought on a long trip or higher RPM's that it would change or at least come up to about the middle of the guage, does this mean I have low oil pressure? I have new valve guide seals and not burning a drop of oil.

another thought, I'm running 31 Mud tires. I was able to easily maintain 75-80 MPH but RPM's were pushing 4000. Maybe these Montero's are geared lower than I thought, what is the gear ratio on the Gen I's?

Just curious, thanks dudes.
