What's "Normal" gauge readings?

[CarbonSteel]

Is this normal?

17 PSI oil pressure is not "normal" as compared to that on my Rubicon which typically is 30-32PSI on my 3.6L.

I don't hit 30 unless I floor it

If it is a 3.6L you have an issue, even at idle mine never drops below 30.

19 2.0T etorque

19 2.0T etorque

In my opinion this is normal. 2.0 etorque goes as low as 17psi and as high as 50psi and at times even higher at full throttle.

phew

That would make a difference ?

Oil pressure in the 3.6 is 29-75 based on RPM.

At what RPM does it go above 32? I have had mine to 5K and it still read 32.

I see the same range on our '21 2.0 non eTorque.
The 17 to 19 psi at idle or low load initially scared the hell out of me but it seems to be normal.

I shouldn’t have mentioned etorque as logically that should make zero difference in the pressure of the oil within the engine. All 2.0T engines should operate within a similar oil pressure range. I believe it operates at lower pressures because the engine itself is smaller with less displacement and a smaller internal area so less overall pressure is required for the oil to get into all the nooks and in between all the moving components.

3000 RPM on the 3.6L engine.

Not on my 3.6L, perhaps it is not normal

Something is wrong if it is not activating the second stage. You probably just haven’t noticed.
