Oil Pressure
Team I notice went starting my SC300 after sitting for several hour my oil symbol doesn't go out right away and I hear a slight tapping until it does. It is seconds but I still notice it. Any thoughts or is this normal? 73K

Thanks for getting back to me. It's not long, but long enough to be notice. I'm the 2nd owner. 2 oil changes in my ownership. Castrol 10w 30. I've had the car a year, didn't hear it before, not my daily driver the car can sit for weeks. Red oil symbol . I may b due for an oil change, time not mileage . Thanks for your help

switch to 5w30 and report back to see if it changes. The 5w30 will reach where it needs to go in the engine faster than 10w30 which might remedy your problem (and the manual calls for 5w30)
You could even use 0w30 as i do,
