So the oil light on my 242 (M-46 transmission, 410K miles) keeps popping on for about a second and a half here and there and then goes back off.

It seems to most often happen during the following situations:

Accelerating, mostly when shifting from 1st into 2nd.

When taking sharper turns.

The car isn't low on oil. Gave it an oil change about 1000 miles ago, and used a Mann oil filter. It's not burning oil either. Dipstick still shows a full 4 quarts.

I'm not sure what the story is. Any ideas would be appreciated.
