I have changed from FRAM to UFI oil filter now.

New figures

FRAM PH28041
Engine off for 24 h: 7,3 s before oil pressure light goes off, needle goes to 3,5 bar.
30 minutes off: 4,5 s
5 s minutes off: Less than a second

UFI
Engine 24 h off: 3,3 s before oil pressure light goes off

My mechanic says that FRAM is out of his shop now.
He didn't know FRAM was that bad.

This started it:
---
My 328 takes about 5 second to build up oil pressure from cold. I.e from ignition on until the oil pressure lamp goes off.

I have a feeling that it took less than that before my last oil filter change. Do I have a oil filter problem or something else? Is it normal with 5 second?
