Fired up the sled after taking it out of storage today and had a low oil pressure light on for approx. 30 second at start up, don't remember ever seeing this at start up before. The engine oil level is right on par. Is this normal? If this is not normal, is there any chances I did engine damage?

Take a picture of it, I would bet its the warm up light. If the oil pressure is low or to high it will turn off in a few seconds after it starts if its not with limits.

Yeah, mine started doing that last year 06 apex. The warm up light went off but the oil light stayed on. I shut it down, checked the oil and it was perfect. Started it back up and light was off. It only seems to do it when its cold or first start of the day. Still doing it this year too.Take a picture of it, I would bet its the warm up light.

I know if the oil pressure is to low it will kill the motor. So no worry's.

It failed to reproduce the same symbol (looks like an oil bottle with drop of oil off the tip), its starting up now with no issues.... Thanks for the responses
