change your fuses. Must have something there. I do that ritual for
the ED, just to make the wife look at me strange. Her car, so what can
it hurt?

As you turn sharply, the oil is being forced outward, thus causing the
light to come on as it should.... I think you should check the oil
level
which should be near the max level.... Had this issue with a old VW on
sharp turns, talking about 1 1/2 quarts oil capacity

The oil level circuit board in the instrument panel may beginning to
go
haywire. I fixed this problem by swapping in a later model
fuel/oil/coolant
gauge cluster, which contains that circuit. I think this is a fairly
common
failure mode. Mine presently comes on just when the oil level
reaches the
lowest mark on the dipstick, but it used to do it whenever I made a
sharp
lefthand turn.

I was driving around town today in the 300D, and just as I got on the
highway entrance ramp I saw the oil light come on. I immediately
parked
and
turned the car off and waited a few minutes. As I turned it off, I
saw
that
the oil pressure was correct, and after shutdown I confirmed that
there
was
oil in the crankcase. After a few minutes of panic I turned the car
back
on, and the oil light wasn't on and the pressure behaved as it
should. It
didn't come on the whole way home (~3 miles).
What the hell happened? Kaleb says it's just the car's way of
telling me
to
check the oil.
