Oil pressure warning light comes on during cold starts. When I start car in the mornings or anytime it has sat for an extended amount of time the warning light will come on. Once I drive off it will come on less than a 1/4 mile from my house. It pops up for maybe 3 seconds or less and goes away. It doesn’t come on again until car has sat for a long time. It happens every time car has sat for a while, but never past a 1/4 mile. Had oil sender switch replaced and oil pan dropped for cleaning.
