Default engine oil lights stays on after start?

My d16z6 with about 135,000 miles with i/h/e (stock muffler.. damn cops)..
After I start the car, the engine oil light will stay on for up to 3-4 seconds after running.. I don't remember it ever doing this but I do remember the previous engine doing pretty much the same thing before.. it died
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
oil pump maybe??

lets see if ur using a cheap *** filter will cause a delay, if the OPS is being lazy will cause light to delay, then there is the oil pump going bad could be a problem. there are a number of things, using the incorrect oil will also

To avoid the potential for engine damage, you might want to measure the fuel pressure.
