My engine light, and battery light are showing when I first put the key in the ignition. Once I start the car, they go away, and the display says "OK", which according to the manual, means that everything is okay, lol.

What you are describing is normal behaviour: without oil pressure the computer warns you for that fact... same with the battery!

if you want to make sure, just hit the check light, your car will cycle though everything. If it says OK at the end...you have no problems my friend.
