Every now and then my oil pressure lamp lights up during a fraction of a second and this mostly when taking fast left corners, it's a 1.8i from 1994 and the oil level is normal.
Reported this to my mechanic and to him everithyng seems normal. Any problem on its way, or is it just a "20 years old car" issue and no need to worrie? |

the oil is sloshing around and you loose pressure for a second, you could add a little more oil so you are just above the hash marks on the dipstick.
