Hello guys,

I recently bought V70 T5 2001. It has 85K km on it.
The timing belt was replaced few days ago and I noticed that the oil pressure light stays ON for about 2-3 seconds when the engine starts cold.

Is this normal???

My wife's 850 (96) the light goes off immediately when the engine starts cold.

The oil and the filter were also changed few weeks ago. It is "Penrite" - fully Synthetic 5W-60 (Australia).

No oil leaks.

Again, is this normal, or am I too paranoic ? When should the light go OFF ?
Is the oil too thin? I am using the same oil on the 850.

After the timing belt was replaced the engine seems to run normal, may be fractionally noiser.(But it could be my paranoic perception).

Regards, Stilian V70 2001 T5
