my oil light comes on just for a second during very hard and fast turns.Oil is about a half quart low.Is it somethig to worry about?
depends, if its a 2.4 then hell yes. you could be kissing your bearings goodbye if you let that keep happening.

yes.Its a 2.4.Been reading that if i turn to sharp and hard i can actually slosh the oil away from the sensor.I have been using 5w30 full synthetic and might try going to 10w40 regualar oil.
Sloshing the oil "away from the sensor" isn't the issue. Sloshing it away from the oil pickup is the issue. When this happens, the oil pressure drops and the switch turns on the light. The time interval between losing pressure and the light coming on is very small, but you don't have pressure until the light goes back out and you don't want to be flogging the engine while you count the split seconds. Whether you use 5-30 or 10-40 doesn't matter. I'd recommend you avoid the "very hard and fast turns" until you can make the necessary modifications to ensure reliability.
Yea its called sell it.This is just my commuter car.No money will be put into it if theres gunna be a big fix.
