Oil and stop lights when cornering?

[paulboy247]

Recently Ive noticed when cornering at a decent speed or using roundabouts etc my oil and stop warning lights come on. Then after a couple of seconds on straight road again they turn off:S. The car had a service with an oil change just a few weeks ago though and I've not noticed any oil leaking or anything out of the ordinary. Any help at all guys? Cheers, Paul.

Normally due to low brake fluid levels

check the oil on the dipstick i would say your oil is low

With the oil light coming on?

Check your oil I bets its low. Hopefully just uncovering the level sender when cornering not the oil pickup and giving low pressure.

Oil and stop lights? Not the brake and stop lights? Hmmm, didn't realise oil didn't move around in the sump like brake fluid does in the res.

i thought this, but maybe its different on different models.

My old cup used to get the STOP light up when on long fast corners.

Mine done this on a straight today and cut out for a split second. done it twice?!

Normally because your sump dont have a baffle in it, so when cornering theres no oil level being measured by the sensor so it tells you to stop, you go straight again and it can measure the oil

mine only does it when straight, but both times were accelerating hard up a hill :s

 

[Nickharding]

that would be why lol, the sensor cant feel any or low oil against it, infact its fine, most of the time, thats why new engines are built with baffles or breakers in the sump, so as you go around a corner hard it dont slosh everywere, you want to be careful when driving it hard if it comes on, as it means the oil pump cant pick up any oil to lube the head and pistons ect and could soon go dry if it aint getting a constant flow, so keep an eye on it, dont wait it seized now do we

I'll be taking all the old oil out tomorrow and putting the fresh 5l in!
