I did this job and I wonder how long does your oil light stay on? I got really nervous after about 20 seconds and turn the car off due to the oil light on. No oil at this point had reached the housing (the filter was still dry). Should I have ran this for a minute or two? I remember changing oil and the light staying on but I can't remember how long.
