Fact: S14 SR20DET, Power FC tuned, Rotella T6 5w-40

I was doing time attack (Practice run) I was approaching to sharp corner
I had pretty hard braking to reduce speed.. then I saw Oil light comes on and off real quick...

2nd turn another hard braking Oil light came on and off few times and I stopped the car and checked the Oil level..
It seemed normal. But I did not feel like driving anymore.

Does anyone had this problem? I do not have Oil pressure gauge yet but I believe Power FC commander shows it.. I will check that tomorrow.

Let me know if you have any idea what seems to be problem..

I have drift event is this weekend.. and I do not want to drive without knowing my car's condition..

im assuming you have the stock oil pan right ?

the oil sloshes around alot with the stock oil pan. when you were braking most of the oil moved to the front causing a low level were the oil pickup is.

there really is not solution to this except for buying an aftermarket oil pan. They keep the oil centered right under the oil pickup so you never get the oil light again.
