I bought my -08 L322 TDV8 one month ago with fresh oil in both engine and gearbox. Usually the oil pressure builds up within about two seconds but the last two days when starting in the morning, it takes about 10 seconds before the oil light goes out. One time the warning text appeared and I shut down after 3-4 seconds and started again and the oil light went out after a few seconds. The other time the oil light went out before the warning text but I guess it was only a split second before... Warm start is ok, oil light for max 2-3 seconds.

Try a new OEM or genuine oil filter first. Cheap, and easy place to start |

Take the filter out, put the cover on and starting up and see what oil pressure you have. Could be an incorrect fitted oil filter. There is a spigot that fits into a hole and it must be in line. |

I'm starting to think cheezels might be right about these engines needing a flush so theirs no sludge in the oil galleries and blocking the turbo oil feed.

It happens just every now and then. I assume the oil filter drains and takes time to refill... Noe big deal anymore. "Plentraktoren/Garden tractor": 2008 L322 TDV8
