That is normal dude. Your fine.

You only need to worry about that fucker if its on during operation.

WHEW! i was starting to worry about every little whirring sound, thinking i messed something up. Would investing on a windage tray for the oil pan be a good thing, just to prevent anything from happening later on? how much do they run for?

I have a crankscraper that I use. I bought it www.crankscrapers.com

Last year.

Think about it. The oil light comes on when there is low oil pressure. When the engine is not running, the oil pump is not turning, and therefore the oil pressure would be zero.

HMM I DID NOT KNOW THAT! thank you sir, but you would think i'de stay pressurized like the fuel system no? the windage trays and crank scrapers are the same thing right?

1. No
2. Not really... two different functions but can be one unit... or two different ones.
