OK. Here's the next challenge/confusing behavior.
1. Hard Cornering at low RPM ( <2300RPM) brings on the oil light/buzzer.
2. Drop RPM to idle and the light/buzzer stays on.
3. Bring RPM **>UP<** and the light/buzzer goes out.
4. It doesn't take a long hardcorner to do this, just a hard wiggle on the
wheel can do it with the 10W40 oil I'm using this winter, in fact, if
memory serves me correctly, I believe that a good bump has set it off
before as well.
5. I believe that the symptom is MORE prevalent with the current 10W40,
than with the summer weight 20W50.
6. STP did nothing for the symptom.
Anybody got any ideas what's happening??
CURRENT GUESSES.
Bearings, Oil pump clearances, sticky oil baffels in the pan, loose wire,
OR NORMAL FUNCTIONING of the Pressure Warning System????
