In our climate even with 20W50 - that's never going to happen.

Same with mine, a couple of seconds for the oil light to go out. Have used 15w 40 mineral, 20w50 and now 15w 40 semi synthetic and haven't noticed a difference in the time it takes for the light to go out. Have yet to try a genuine oil filter though.

Thanks carmedic, you're so kind. Quotes just to show how you have helped the op soooo much here. Now please,try and add something to this post that the OP can use to solve his issue he is having. If you can't don't bother replying.
So far I have suggested using a genuine filter and to check the oil pickup strainer. Knowing what these vehicles and engines are like, as I work on them daily in our franchise, I can offer some assistance.

Carmedic had a perfectly fine answer, you started by rubbishing anything that is not genuine which is not the case. Hes a good honest mechanic and many here respect him. Obviously you get money out of genuine filters through you're work, so it is in your interest to rubbish them. Aftermarket parts are very common and they are built to oem standards.

Firstly - I didn't rubbish aftermarket parts 2nd - No, I don't make money from genuine parts, work even sells aftermarket parts as well. I'm not a parts sales person. 3rd - I don't know carmedic from a bar of soap and I don't know what his qualifications are but he hasn't added anything of value here yet. 4th - Aftermarket filters aren't made to OEM specs, if they were they'd be recommended by manufacturers and they'd be warranty specified - which they're not. My previous post goes for you as well. Add something of value here for the OP or don't bother. Bye.

Care to explain how afternarket part companys stand by there products, even on some cars that have a warranty. Carnedic maintains fleet vehicles i believe and he is very good and hopefully he will be here later to explain.

The reason for that is because the oil pressure sender for the dash light is mounted in the head, and while the bearings etc would get oil pressure almost instantly I would say the cylinder head is the last to get full oil pressure, therefore the oil light is delayed in turning off.

My 3sfe can handle anything I throw at it. Not a performance machine, but still good to know there's a bit of bulletproofness behind it!
