I noticed, that the oil pressure light stays on a little too long for my liking.

No codes regarding oil pressure, it goes off after a second or two, no weird noise coming from the engine.

Is it normal or should I check for a faulty oil pump/dirty pick up etc. ?

Looks ok to me.

It's not going to go off until after you start the car. Pressure needs to build before if it will go off.

As long as your oil is topped up and the light does not come on during routine driving you are probably ok. Assuming you are not consuming oil either.

yup, the light goes off, never lit up during driving and oil level is ok.

Thanks!

Could just be low oil or a cheap filter. As long as it doesn't turn on while driving you should be ok. Also could be a worn part in the sensor it self. Make sure the engine is not ticking.

oil level is fine, but I'll check the filter, it's the last thing the previous owner did

Engine's not making any weird noises (well apart from the shuddering caused by erratic idle caused by bad OCV lol)

......is this real? its on for one second two tops to build oil pressure

GeorgeG5

sorry if it bothers you. The light went off immediately after start in every video review of the GS300 I saw, that's the reason I asked.

Parts are not that easily available and cheap here as they are in the US and I'd rather be safe knowing it's nothing than neglect it and then face ridiculous fees for engine rebuild if the pump or anything broke.

There is nothing wrong with making sure everything is ok.

Yeah I don't see the problem here, the oil pressure light coming on almost guarantees your engine is going to be done for and he's just making sure his is okay. Like everyone said above, keep an eye on it especially while driving but otherwise you should be fine.
