Why so long?

RRC:
When i start up from cold, my oil light on my 3.9 Auto RRC takes up to 10 seconds to go out.

The oil level is tip top, and i had a change 2500 miles ago, any ideas?

MUSKIE:
what oil have you got in?? i put 15/40 in an old rangie and this happened to me. i then changed it to 20/50 and hey presto back to normal. some run on 20/50 and some 15/40 and it makes a difference. just a thought it might be something else.

Range Rover Blues:
A combination of a worn engine and crud in your oilways means that the oil pressure doesn't get up straight away.  Viscosity is not as straight foreward as you'd think either, the thinner it is the quicker it gets where it's needed from cold, when it's thickest.  The trade of is that it seeps through all the gaps in a worn engine to keep the pressure down, and the gaps are biggest when the engine's cold.

RRC:
I top it up with 10 - 40 Castrol GTX Magnatec.

Would 'Winns Engine Flush' help?

I was going to suggest that...   You'll be amazed at the muck that comes out if the engine has missed a few changes in the past
