Default Oil LIght

when i take corners really fast, or drive around in a tight circle fast my oil light comes on, does anyone know what might cause this. Sorry if my description is kinda vague, but its the best i can describe it.

it sure looks like a low oil problem. Especially if it happens in a corner.

umm, i had my oil light come on exactly twice...

1) I hit a piece of metal that put a quarter size hole in my oil pan...yep, light came on.

2) I rattled the drain plug loose on the oil pan from running an open header...oil light came on again...luckily i had a spare plug and a short walk to the house, whew! using threadlocker now on the plug

is it just me or do people know they're supposed to fill up their gas tank when the gas light comes on, but as soon as the oil light comes on its rocket science?
