Dodge Journey: High Oil Pressure → Causes + Diagnosis

If your Dodge Journey is experiencing unusually high oil pressure, you need to find out what’s causing it right away.

Unusually high oil pressure can indicate serious problems, such as a blocked oil passage, or a broken pressure relief valve.  It should be treated like you have no oil pressure until you verify what is actually going on with your Journey’s engine.

High Oil Pressure Causes:  Dodge Journey

Here are some of the most common causes of high oil pressure.  Many of them don’t involve opening up the engine.  They are presented first in the hopes that it doesn’t come to that for you.

1. Cold Start

It is completely normal for a vehicle to have higher oil pressure when you first start it up.  The oil is thicker and the pressure will stay higher until the engine warms up and it thins out a bit. 

With most vehicles, the oil pressure can be as high as 65 pounds around startup.  When the engine warms up, it’ll taper off to around 40 pounds.  If the oil pressure stays high, that’s when there is a serious problem.

2. Faulty Oil Pressure Sending Unit

Your Journey’s oil pressure sending unit sends a signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) letting it know the actual oil pressure of the engine.  If this sending unit goes bad, it can send a false reading.

A faulty sending unit is often the cause of a high pressure reading.  That’s good news, they are easy to get to and cheap to replace , and there’s nothing really wrong with your engine itself.

You’ll need to get a manual oil pressure test gauge and hook it into the port where the normal oil pressure sending unit goes.  This will allow you to get an actual reading of your Journey’s oil pressure.  If it matches what the electronic oil pressure sending unit says, it’s time to move forward in your diagnosis. 

If it reads normal, you know that you have an issue with the sending unit.  You should inspect the wiring harness around it to make sure that there are no cracks or damage.  Make sure that it’s plugged tightly into the sensor and that there’s no corrosion on the contacts.  If it all checks out, replacing the sensor should solve the problem.

You may also experience oil pressure related trouble codes such as:

3. Bad/Dirty Oil Filter

If your Journey’s oil filter is obstructed through the accumulation of grime, it will no longer let enough oil go through the engine.  When this happens the temperatures will begin to rise and the oil pressure could rise.

Changing the oil and oil filter are a great idea when you have high oil pressure.  It only takes a few minutes and if the filter was clogged, you’ve solved the problem.

4. Bad Oil or Wrong Viscosity Oil

Using the wrong oil weight in your engine can cause the oil pressure to be too high.  This is a great avenue to explore in your diagnosis if you didn’t physically put the oil in the engine yourself.  We’re all human.  Perhaps the shop that last changed your Journey’s oil put used the wrong oil.

5. Internal Engine Issues

Above we listed out some of the most common reasons that your Journey would have high oil pressure that don’t involve opening up the engine.  If you’ve checked through all of that it’s time to focus on mechanical problems, or take it into a mechanic that can check it out for you.

Blocked Oil Passage- Much like the human body has veins, your Journey has oil passages that lead oil to all of the vital engine components.  If one of these veins is blocked, it can mess with the oil pressure reading.  But, it also means that some part of the engine is not being properly lubricated.

Bad Pressure Relief Valve- If the pressure relief valve has gone bad, it’ll allow the oil pump to send as much pressure as it can muster throughout the engine. You’ll need to remove and clean or replace it to see if it was causing the high oil pressure.

Bad Oil Pump or Bearings- A bad oil pump is going to cause erratic oil pressure readings.  

Conclusion:  Dodge Journey High Oil Pressure Diagnosis

As you can see above, there are many reasons that your Dodge Journey could have high oil pressure.  High oil pressure often indicates that while some parts of the engine are getting oil, others are not.  Until you manually verify the oil pressure, you should treat it like you have no oil pressure at all.

Number Of Terminals

Masterpro ignition 3 terminal oil pressure switch, standard ignition 3 terminal oil pressure switch, standard ignition 1 terminal oil pressure switch, what is an oil pressure sensor.

Your oil pressure sensor or switch monitors oil pressure levels in the engine to prevent premature wear and alerts you to low oil pressure before it causes catastrophic engine failure. An oil pressure sensor or switch sends signals to the engine computer, and may also directly or indirectly trigger your oil pressure gauge or low-pressure warning light. If the oil pressure sensor or switch in your vehicle stops functioning properly, it could provide inaccurate readings or fail to send oil pressure measurements at all. This may cause the oil pressure light to come on, or the oil pressure gauge may read very high or not display any reading. This may also occur if you don't have the appropriate type or amount of oil in your engine if your oil pump is no longer working as it should, or if the oil passages in your engine have become clogged with sludge or debris. Before replacing your oil pressure sensor or oil sending unit, check your oil level and condition and listen to your engine run. If you're low on oil, add what is needed or perform a complete oil change to restore its level and condition. If you notice any ticking, knocking, or clunking noises from the engine, or you can smell oil burning, there may be other issues that will need to be addressed to prevent engine damage or failure. After you've completed your inspection, if the oil level is appropriate, the engine seems to be running as it should, and there are no other notable issues, it may be time to replace your oil pressure sensor or switch. Shop O'Reilly Auto Parts for the right oil pressure switch, oil sending unit, or oil pressure sensor to help you make a complete repair.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
