Default Oil pressure how fast afterstart up?

I've noticed that recently when I start my truck in the morning, That it takes about 3 - 5 seconds for the oil pressure to start to come up. Temp out side is 60's to 70's . I don't recall the truck doing this in the past. How long does it take ya'lls oil pressure to come up?

mycluster oil gauge starts moving after about 2 seconds, my autometer oil pressure gauge pegs at the 65-70psi mark (cold startup) maybe 1/2 second after the engine fires.

What brand filter do you use? Could be getting some drain back possibly.

I have a NAPA gold oil filter, I think I might change my oil this weekend and put on a new filter.
