After this subaru it is going to be something without variable valve timing for me.

I did eventually reupload the tune. Probably about 400 miles (if not, much less) before I had the OCV failure (second issue). Allegedly the car is fixed now. Ever since I got the car back, my oil light will stay on a few seconds longer at initial cold start up. Kinda dismissed it. I had still fresh Subaru 0w20 in it from the initial failure because they had to drain and replace oil. After changing out to Eneos 0w20 (what the car has spent most of its life on), the light issue didn't change at all. So now I'm a bit worried because there's clearly a lag in building oil pressure here. Only a matter of time until till I find out what it is. In a bad way. Hoping to diagnose it before that.

I don't claim to know anything about tuning but I'd venture a solid bet that this is exactly right. Any thoughts on my oil light issue described above?
