Whenever I start up, either cold or warm, my oil pressure light stays on for a good 2 to 8 seconds and no reading on the oil pressure gauge, long enough for me to worry and hold my breath and debate shutting it down. it has oil, and im running royal purple. any Ideas? Is this normal?

Sounds pretty normal to me. When its zero degrees F up here in Canada it takes a lot longer than that and it hasnt hurt my old girl yet and I use 15w40 Rotella all year round...

when its warm it should have pressure within a second or 2 if not instantly.
When its cold, depending how cold it will take some time for it to pick up the oil.
At -40c mine wont have oil pressure for a good 30sec or so! It hasnt had the joys of the cold part of our winters though, i think it would need to be parked inside for a -60c startup...

I'll agree with everyone above here...Mine stays on a bit but it goes off after a couple of seconds...Most of the time it's because of the cold...As long as your oil pressure gauge comes up, you should be good to go
