oil pressure light brefly
during making a kinda sharp left turn at 20mph tonight i saw my RED oil pressure light came on in the cluster for like 5 sec and then off. I parked the car in the driveway and check oil on dipstick. It shows full and still very clean (recent oil change). I checked oil again after 10 min and still full. I started the car 3 or 4 times and it runs fine with no oil pressure light on. Would it be safe to continue driving to work? I dont have oil pressure gauge, just a aem wideband o2 and it reads fine if that helps.

How long you had the car? Could be a faulty sensor or bad wires if it happens on some occasions like that.

I've had this issue twice. The first time, the oil light would start flickering during idle and become solid when the RPMs dipped slightly below idle. I replaced the pressure sensor and the light never came back on.
The second time I had it, 8 months after the first, the light would sit solid at idle and only disappear during higher revs. I panicked, bought an oil pressure test kit and tested it. Everything was within spec at low and high RPM. Bought a second oil pressure sensor reaplcement, and the problem disappeared. I've had pretty bad luck with these things but from what I understand this problem isn't exactly uncommon with this car.
