Oil gauge stays "buried" for 5-10 minutes after starting
2002 Ford Explorer. Oil level is good.
When I start my car, my oil gauge stays buried all the way to the bottom for the first 5-10 minutes of driving. While it's buried, the "check gauge" light is lit.
Generally the gauge "pops up" to where it's supposed to be after 5-10 minutes and the check gauge light goes off.
I'm presuming it's nothing to worry about: just a sticking gauge... but wanted to run it by the experts ;)
Am I right?. or should I have it checked out?
