how long should the oil pressure light stay on when starting.

Sep 05, 2003 0 Replies

Having recently had major surgery on my 95 SC2 I decided I would be very pro-active in maintaining my car's engine from now on. I've noticed that upon starting the car, there is maybe a 2-3 second delay before the low oil pressure light goes off. Is this normal or could it be doing damage to the car? It is only for a couple seconds but before the repairs (engine rebuilt) I never noticed it at all. I don't know if it used to go off sooner than it does now or if I'm just painfully more aware of it.
