Ok, so I make a nice long windy run up the canyon and once I get there the oil light comes on at idle...So I blipped the throttle and it went out, but returned...So I turned off the car...Took some pictures(original reason for drive)..Checked the oil, and everything was fine....So I take it easy going down and once I get into town everything is fine. No oil light at idle..Nothing. Any ideas??
