Default Cold start shows no oil pressure
When starting after over night or a few hours of non use, oil pressure gauge is slow to show oil pressure, mobil 1 5/30 and a wix xl filter.

My 2019 does the same thing...you can fire up the car and it may take a couple seconds for the oil pressure to register on the gauge. Kinda freaky waiting for it to show
My 2017 was instantaneous, never had the lag.
Just figured its electronics, software, etc.

I'm sure it's electronics causing the delay. My 2018 does the same thing.

As does my C7 Z06, BMW, motorcycles, etc. It takes a few moments for pressure to build.
