Oil buzzer comes on during sustained hard cornering with a S4 NA - problem?
Last night I was out in a parking lot making figure 8s, spinning, and generally getting a feel for the car (planning to autocross next weekend). I'm planning on disabling DTSS, but that's another issue.
After sustained hard cornering, the oil buzzer would come on for a second or two. The oil is full, and oil pressure wasn't dropping (at least not noticeably).
Is this something to worry about, or just a side effect of launching oil up the side of the engine?

Oil baffle might help... as far as I could guess, the oil is getting sloshed upwards creating air pockets and what not. An oil baffle keeps the oil from beign able to slosh back upwards.
