JLUR 3.6L auto (on order)
2024 JLUR with 16k miles. I’ve had normal oil pressure 30psi under 3k rpm and 77-80psi at over 3k rpm since new.

A couple days ago I noticed oil pressure would spike to 70+ on even small amounts of engine braking like when letting my foot off the gas approaching an exit or turn. Then starting yesterday oil pressure spikes to 60s when accelerating even under 3k rpm. Also, when I put the Jeep in park it’ll go to 44-45 psi and just stay there until I shut the engine off.

Any ideas? No visible leaks, oil level good, last oil change was at 13,500. Temps have been in the 20s, but all this happens even after driving for 20 mins fully warmed up.

Oil pressure sensor error, or poor connection. With your model year I would take it to the dealer as this may be a different problem regarding VVT. It's not normal and won't fix itself.
