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?

And I x4 it. I had the same problem when my engine burned alot of oil. When I was low, the red oil lamp came on i sharp turns. Refill your oil!

BTW(a bit OT): Is it standard that the orange oil warning lamp is not connected in the gauge cluster? I took it apart some days ago, and noticed that the bulb and socket which light that up were gone.

Whats the orange oil lamp? you mean fuel low warning light?

I've had two 1996 models of Celica (SS-III & GT-Four) and both had their fuel low warning lights go around 100,000kms...
Its not the bulb itself, there's no fuse for it, the fuel level gauge still works, i've put it down to faulty in-tank signal senders in facelift models.

My first Celica was a 1995 model SS-I and had 180,000kms and the light still worked the way it should, and my housemate has a 1994 model which still has a working fuel low warning light.

My guess is that the same thing has happened with your car and the previous owner discovered it wasn't the bulb that was faulty so just left it out since there was no point putting a good bulb back into a light which will never work.
