Dude! Where's my tow truck?
Video: Dude! Where's my tow truck? My oil pressure light came on while I was in the new Seattle tunnel. I drove about 15 seconds to exit and my engine seized on me. Got the truck and camper ...

FYI oil lights have delay circuit who will prevent the light from coming for several seconds.
Meaning 15 seconds with the light on, very likely means 30 seconds with no oil pressure.
I still remember 1980's car where the circuit failed and I had red oil oil light coming on each corner I took.
I like to do hard cornering. ;)
Still synthetic oils do have big doze of molybdenum, who makes protective coat allowing for engine work for some time with no oil pressure, before parts start seizing.
I will wait for the report what exactly happen inside the engine.
