Do you fill in the oil canister with oil after oil changes?

I noticed that after oil changes the oil pressure light stays on for longer than it should. Benteley suggests keeping the filter cover open until the filter fills up with oil. There has to be an easier way.

will go out before you have a panic attack. And your engine probably will last longer because the oil pump can suck up 0 weight oil in a hurry and deliver it to vital moving parts.

The oil light always goes out very quickly. I never read the Bentley about oil changes and have never heard this.

Very quickly meaning less than a second or about 2-3 seconds.

that for splitting the difference? ;)

If yours is going out in 2 - 3 seconds, there is nothing to worry about.

no problem here.

i do the oil change, put in a new filter, close canister, turn on car, no problems.

I do the oil changes alone ,using Liqui Molly full synthetic, never noticed something strange with the light of oil.
