Hello i just noticed that recently the oil light stays on a little bit longer than it used to when i start the car. the oil light usually goes off right away when starting the car, but for some reason, the car oil light stays on a second or two then goes off after starting. i checked oil level and everything and its not burning oil. compression in all cylinders read 220+. what causes the light to stay on a little longer? i been using mobil 1 10w30 and oem honda filter since day 1. 59k miles on car. Thanks!

I'd like to know as well...only conclusion that I've came up with is that the oil filter could possibly be clogged

As long as it never ever comes on after that - while the engine is running - there is no problem at all.

You're using the 15400-PCX-004 filter?

Maybe the anti drain back valve in the filter is not 100%
Unlikely on a 15400-PCX-004 though.

Im not sure exactly which item number it is but I purchased the filter at a Honda dealership. I just hope the oil pump is goin out or something but yeah the light goes off about a second or two after start up.

to verify whether it's the oil pump or oil switch you need to check oil pressure. when i was working at a local Dodge dealership, Durangos and Dakotas V6 to V8's had problems with the oil sending unit. to verify that it's not the oil pump, i ran a pressure gauge from the sending unit. as soon as i seen oil pressure on start up, i knew that the sending unit was the culprit. of course i checked the oil level and condition before diagnosis

i believe its the oil pressure sensor. mine does this too
