On mine it took much longer to get oil pressure after a cold start,
and the engine didn't sound good at all idling without oil pressure.
It's like starting with a dry filter after an oil change every time
you start your car! With new o-rings the oil pressure comes up almost
instantly, and the engine sounds great!
I couldn't beleive that the aftermarket euro parts suppliers I called
couldn't send me these o-rings, and some even insisted that the car
didn't have them!

You need to change those oil filter stem orings like YESTERDAY!. Get
2-3 of each from Rusty and keep them. change them about every other
time you change the filter, or at least every other year.
Since you seem alarmed, what exactly happens when those O-rings don't
seal properly? I have good (excellent in fact) oil pressure
readings on
the dash.
