Or change your oil!

Low oil pressure, change the oil and filter. If it still persists, assume that you have either a large leak or a faulty oil pressure sender/pump. But most likely that you need more oil.

The oil light flashes if there is a very brief drop in oil pressure. Hard cornering in the same direction fo more than a few seconds (like a fast U-turn) is usually enough to do it. The oil has just sloshed away from the pickup fo a second or two. Having low oil (above the low mark, but below the high mark) will probably allow this to happen more frequently.

Our engines do not have the baffling that reduces this. I have been considing pulling an oil pan at the junk and making baffles and swapping it in so I don't starve my engine of oil for those few seconds when I autocross, but I haven't bothered yet since it's such a pain in the ass.
