are they? On what car does this happen on then?

Every car that I have ever graced/owned/worked on when you have the ignition on the oil and batt light stay on.

The oil light stays on until the engiens running at which point oil pressure turns it off.

The alternator light stays on until the alt is spinning quick enough to extinguish the light due to the alt charging.
