So has anyone ever seen their oil pressure light come on for just a second or two after making a hard turn? There's a long cloverleaf to get on the interstate, and by the time I'm at the end of it my oil pressure light will just pop on for a second or two. Oil isn't low or anything, so what do you guys think is up?

I have heard of some cars during racing events where they make a hard turn and their light comes on but that's at high speed at a sharp turn (from what I've heard) and from what I understand the oil in the block is thrown to one side and leaves little to be pumped up to where it's supposed to go (can actually cause rod bearing damage).
Second thought is maybe your oil pump is worn and isn't working effectively enough to keep efficient during those hard turns. IDK, just a thought on that. |
