Any of you guys ever take a corner really aggressively and have your oil light come on?? I did it earlier today, it only came on for a fraction of a second, but is this something i should worry about??

yeah when you take corners hard you oil sloshes around your engine really hard and stuff and it could cause you light to go on, hasn't happened to me but during extremely hard cornering oil comes blasting out into the catchcan, mostly during autocross.

It happens to me too. I think it means that you're low on oil because it doesn't happen after I change my oil.

And the Neon guys are lucky enough to have a windage tray or the moroso oil pan to prvent the oil from moving around as much and starving the motor during autopcross or hard cornering.

Never had that happen to me. I haven't autocrossed in a while, but I don't remember having oil problems with my car.

Maybe if your oil is low, but still above the "low" mark on the dipstick this will happen. Make sure you've got the full 4 1/2 quarts in there, then see if it happens again.

My car actually has a little more oil in it than it is supposed to have,so thats not the problem. I just cornered hard as hell and it made the oil slosh around, I remember reading about this in SCC, they put a new oil pan on the car to prevent it from happening again, but i dont think they make one like that for our rides...or do they??
