Default Oil Pressure light.

Have any of u guys experienced the oil warning light flash on while taking extended hard corners? Or do people ever spin bearings during hard cornering due to oil shifting to one side of the pan? sorry if this is a newbie question.

The oil pressure light might as well be a green "$"

By the time it goes off, its way too late. At least on track.

What RJ said.

Yes, people do spin bearings when the oil gets shoved away from the pickup under cornering. Baffled oil pans are your friend... overfilling the oil is a decent bandaid for the problem.

I have seen problems with the integra typeR killed the motor at willow springs,
turn 8 very long sweeper, at 100+.


Now he has a mugen oil pan ( same pan with a baffle plate, seems to look identical to the 2nd gen CRX oil pan for alot of money).
