No oil pressure. Stop safely

I’ve been having a warning labeled “no oil pressure stop safely” while taking sharp turns. The car runs and drive fine but I’ve had this warning pop up only while taking sharp turns about three times within the past month. It goes away immediately after straightening the wheel. Any ideas?

Check your oil level of course

It could be your oil pickup is sludged and you are losing oil pressure on slosh. The pan needs to be dropped to confirm and replace parts and all Orings , of course

You're more than a little low on oil probably. I've tried myself.

Power steering pump dragging the engine down.

Unfortunatelly I had the same situation you are describing. I ignored it. After a while bearing on shaft was rotated. Atfer I had taken down the oil sump I found that the seals were hard and no more flexible. But I do not know why only on sharp turns the light was coming on.

1. Open the hood
2. Start engine.
3. Turn the wheels from extreme left to extreme right as you listen to the engine and watch the Tachometer.

There's an improved pickup tube that goes deeper into pan: 30650552. It needs two longer bolts 982777.
