    Vectra 56 reg 1.8 petrol - Oil pressure light on cold (first time) startup.

    Hi guys

    Just got a Vectra (i think it's a "Vectra C", - 56 reg (new shape), 1.8 petrol).

    After the car has been standing overnight, and you come to start the engine in the morning.
    The red oil pressure light, how long should it stay on before it goes out?

    Anyone got a video of the 1st startup in the morning and the lights as they come on and go out.

    Thanks

      The oil light should be out within two or three seconds of starting the engine. Any longer, then check your oil level isn't too high or low, and possibly think about changing the pressure sensor, if the level is fine and the oil and filter are clean. Outside of that, you may have problems with oil seal, or your pump.
