I'd say if we bought an ample supply of those o-rings and changed them with each oil change our delayed oil pressure would cease.

Does anyone know if the nitrate o-rings sold by Harbor Freight are suitable for this application?

I didn't replace the little o-rings at last oil change and there is a little more delay in oil pressure at startup. I think your right, change 'em every time. There really should be a filter that includes those o-rings. ?
