Oil Pressure Light on Startup

Oil Pressure Light on Startup
Just wondering if it's normal for the oil pressure light to come on for a second upon start-up. Always thought it was normal, but at the same time I'm a little worried that something may be going on, on really cold starts I get a slightly rough sound upon startup. TheAzn had a similar problem in a thread a while back and was told that he had slightly low oil pressure upon startup and it was nothing to worry about.
But I can't help but worry about it. Any common causes for low oil pressure upon startup with the 2jz, anything I could do to fix this? Anyone else had similar problems with their oil pressure?

My oil level is fine, It's been 80-90 or so degrees here for the past 2 and a half weeks here in Texas.
My oil pressure light has flashed on at start since I've owned the car, I always thought it was normal with this car as it's never had any problems. My oil level light has never come on, so I don't think it's the same problem as I'm not losing oil.

Yea, the shop I took it to told me it's nothing to worry about. The causes could be dirty oil jackets/ plumbing, oil pump. I asked if I should replace the oil pump but they said no.
I've thought about trying Seafoam or other cleaners but I'm afraid it'll bring out a leak or something.

my 1J does the same thing, oil light seems to linger for a little longer than usual on start up (working on cars all day, they usually go off right when it starts up). Only two things i can think of are a worn oil pump or worn bearings causing reduced oil pressure. it does bother me a bit, but like you it doesn't come on while driving and im not leaking any so im not terribly concerned
