Fault is in the oil pressure switch. Does it stay on when th engine is warm? if you start on warm engine and it gives the same code, maybe don't drive on the highway, or hard driving, but if it goes off with engine warm, I'd say just faulty sensor

Common to fail on a 3.6 Pentastar. Just keep an eye on the oil level.

Found a dealer that would look at it... They gave same advice as above (thank you by the way), that I should take it easy when driving and wait for them to get the part they need in.

On a side note afterwards, they send this guy to check out my JK and he starts asking if I've taken it offroad yet.... Trying to wiggle out of warranty

I just had the Jeep service manager tell me "you've scuffed the sidewalls on those tyres a bit" (I've almost got white walls at the moment) to which I replied "I didn't buy it to bloody look at it mate.. I bought it to go where no one else can"

Good to see they came out to look at it though

What happens if the sensors correct & you haven't any oil pressure, don't like to think about the consequences there, new engine? hope you have it in writing that it will be alright to drive it, only way to be sure is screw in an oil pressure gauge to check the oil pressure, that's what I would be doing before driving it anywhere
