when i turn the engine on in the morning, it takes longer for the oil check light to go off. yesterday i had a canyon run, and today when i turned engine on, it almost took 8 sec's for the oil check light to turn off...

ive heard that if oil pressure is low the tensioners that keep the timing chain tight are operated by oil pressure so if your oil pressure is low then the tensioner will not be working properly hence your chain will flap around and hit the guides.

would oil starvation be resolved with a new oil pan? and how do i check for oil pressure? nevertheless even know that its the oil pressure.
