I was taking a two lane long left turn onramp today on my way home from work. I wanted to pass a car to my right. It was a left turn, but nothing too crazy. I was in second gear. I floored it as I was turning left, and around 6500rpm's the oil light flickered quickly about three times. The whole thing took about two seconds, but I got very scared. I drove slow (60mph) not using more than half throttle the whole way home. I stopped at a gas station and my oil was at the max line. Exactly where it was when I had the oil changed about two to three weeks ago.
I though the oil starvation issue was only on hard right turns. The oil pickup is on the right side right? wouldnt that mean there should be plenty of oil available when turning left. What just happened to me? The car is not making any strange noises and seems to drive perfectly fine. Do I need an accusump or something?
