Recently I see the oil idiot light on mine stay lit for a second or so after the car starts; I wonder if increasing the oil pressure prior to starting the car will eliminate this pressure delay and if this might help prevent startup friction and wear, if indeed the latter does occur.

If it truly stays on that long you might consider switching to another filter. That's usually a sign of a filter that has a poor anti-drainback valve. The PureOne comes to mind, as well as the Fram-based Honda filters.

Thanks for the suggestions on the brands!

I have yet to check the K&N that's on my bench, but they may use a different valve (for some reason). The STP, M1, ACD, K&N, and Bosch all seem to share similar characteristics, though the filter media is radically different. I wouldn't be surprised if the drainbacks are different in some of them.
Also have an ACD, STP OS, Hastings, Super Tech (same as M1, STP, etc.), ACD OS, ST OS... I also picked up some Frams (stock and OS) as they have been recently redesigned. Will post back as to what I find when I get the time to hack them apart.
Meantime... I have had no trouble with the M1's I've been using, the light goes out immediately.
