On heavy acceleration, heavy breaking, or rough bumps like railroad tracks my oil light comes on briefly. The oil level is full and I had the dealer check it out. They said a wire must be loose and it is ok to drive for now. They can fix it next time it's in the shop and they have had a few of these issues come up before. I haven't seen a specific post on this yet. It kinda of freaks me out I wish I had an oil pressure gauge. What do you guys think?

1. Take a piece of electrical tape and cut it into a circle.
2. Apply neatly over oil light until next dealership visit.
3. Problem SOLVED!
