Oil Light Not Going Out Immediately ?

[LittleSkink]

I have just noticed on a cold start the oil light on my IS200 takes maybe a full second to go out, that can be overnight cold or left a couple of hours. At a fuel fill up or short stop it goes out immediately on restart

Now my previous cars have tended to do something similar (my old Nissan 4x4 was just the same but 3-4 seconds easy, and was like that for all the years I had it). However, I am wondering if it is something to be concerned about on a 70k miles Lexus engine ? Is it maybe a dodgy oil pump, typical of thin synthetic oil, just how they are ?

thanks Ormi

been stood a couple of days so timed the oil light this morning, it was 2.2 seconds. Car is a slightly hesitant starter though (new plugs due this week). No strange noises at all, it just purrs into life. Hoping this is a cheap oil filter (non return value) or something unimportant

What oil you using? With the colder mornings it wont be flowing as well as it did back in summer I'd say. Put some 0w30 in for the winter months.
