It's only on hard right turns that I've seen it. Tires are 16" Conti ProContact SSR, so not terribly sticky stuff. Especially if I brake and turn in, the oil pressure light will ding once or twice then go away on corner exit. No histrionics, no DSC engagement, no tire squeal, just a good hard corner like you'd see in an autoX type environment.

Oil level is topped off. Oil type is Mobil1 0W40. Oil filter is a Mann.

Is this a common occurrence with this motor in these sorts of conditions? I didn't see much on a search. Is there any solution other than a baffled oil pan?

Nobody else experiences this I guess?

 

I've never seen it, and I take a lot of hard rights :-) N12 R55 with Michelin Pilot Super Sports (= glue). I think this is something that your car is picking up with its sensors that isn't hurting anything. I'd be curious what you find out.

 

I thought I had updated this at some point. Reading old threads, some people had experienced this sort of issue when using aftermarket oil filters. Even though I had used a Mann filter, I did an oil change using Amsoil 0W30 and an OE oil filter. I haven't seen the problem since.

The Mann and Mobil1 had about 4k miles on them when I changed it.

 

Thanks for taking time to let us know what fixed it. Step daughter just experienced it but was due to low oil level.
