My oil light is staying on for 6-10 seconds when i start it up in the morning or at the end of the day after its sat not running for a bit. Oil level is spot on. Is my oil pump starting to crap out or should i try different oil? I just use the recommended castrol oil. Its only started recently and doesnt come on when driving.

6-10 seconds is a little too long...What filters are using spud? Need to make sure they have anti drain backs....

Hey growler - when did you last change filters? If they are OK and oil levels are OK I think you are on the money with a pump showing its age. I'd switch it out if filters are OK. That's the right filter for the GQ so I'd be looking at the pump - and if it was me - would go easy on driving it until you can swap it out. Seen pumps go bing in a flash and then the engine follow pretty quick after!

It's probably annoyed with you for taking a mighty GU for a spin, maybe time to trade up.
Sorry couldn't help myself.

I think it's also known that the oil pressure sender units start to fail prematurely?
