Hi to all from Turkey

I have noticed that when starting from stone cold (and also from warm when standing for minimum of approx. an hour) the oil pressure warning light takes a good 5 seconds to estinguish

i'm using 20w 50 castrol GTX, car is in very good condition and well maintaned but i'm really worrying about oil pump gears.. :confused:

odometer shows ~ 153.000km and never opened engine for a repair instead of valve clearence adjustments for 11 years ..

any suggestions welcomed

hoops forgot to say its 1998 facelift felicia with jikov carburated 1.3 engine (135L 43kw)

153_000km on the original timing chain? You don't find the engine rather noisy? (no tensioner)

I'd try a lighter cold grade oil (say 15W50), and a different brand of oil filter.

no no i've already changed the timing chain and sprockets sorry for misunderstanding.

i mean it never overheated , never opened the cylinder head for a gasket or lineer change. engine is still original from factory just keep working fine with regular maintenace.

thanks for your suggestion
