2007 Acura TL base
I have a 2007 Acura TL base with Navi it has 132500 miles and maybe I’m just tripping but when I start it up the low oil pressure light stays on for a less then a second don’t know if u just started doing that or I never payed attention the oil level is good check it once a week it doesn’t burn oil or leak oil TL runs great no issues thanks

Are you in the deep south, using a lighter weight oil? 20W-50, for instance?
Double check with a mechanical oil pressure gage available @ AutoZone, threaded in place of the OEM oil pressure switch. IIRC the oil pressure light comes on <10psi, which should be the pressure at warm idle, not cold.
If you do indeed only have 10psi at cold idle, you could potentially have a VERY serious problem with a worn out oil pump, excessive clearance between your bearings, or another serious issue.
