With new pads, I agree very unlikely.

Actually, I stand behind my statement because no matter how worn or new the pads are, they cannot have anything to do with his oil light, as I clearly stated.

Agreed, but look what you did to his thread. It's a mess of crud, when he needed true honest help with the issue.

Dude. It's like we said your name too many times. KRAM36, KRAM36, KRAM......
I made one joke based on his other thread, and offered my opinion or suggestions to the oil light. Sorry you didn't appreciate it. You dissected my joke into your issue with rotor edges, and brought a mess of pics in to prove it. Please, let it go.

Actually we are still waiting on the very a respected company to chime in... ECS.
I'm sure Kram will email and get to the bottom of this as he is our ambassador and contact to them. Until they have their say Kram will always be right, have the last word, and the rest of us wrong. 
Besides who gives a poop about the OP and and what his concerns are? 
(lol, hope you know when I'm joking...)
But in all honesty I think the pressure sensor and pulling the pan to look at the trap doors and pickup is a good start...
That is if Kram says its okay.

ECS has nothing to do with this. I'm not always right. Stop being butthurt because I would by a Pierburg water pump from FDC even though you had bad luck with some parts you got from them.

Yes, my butt hurts because you buy from a company I had bad luck with.

I know you are, glad to see you admit it. You haven't acted so childish towards me since then.

That's cool I forgot about that, something actually productive you said rather than just trying to get the last word on every conversation.

I ate an earthworm once on a dare. It went down easy 'cause it was covered in slime. 
Here's a potato.

Not just a potato...
A BAKED POTATO! 
You did not do that with a worn out rotor did you?

Could be the oil was thrown above the pickup tube for moment and you picked up some air. Seems like having a plugged pickup would show up a lot, not sure why negative g's would make that worse. Sure hope THIS post doesn't cavort through other strings. Posting no pictures just to make sure (and the rotor ALWAYS wears through the sensor wire given a chance- it's just a question of where).

I wonder if a sticky trap door on the sump can cause that.

Only if the rotor edge cut into it first. Then it could ground out and stick.

Are you trying to get the OP's Boxster stuck on his finger?

Actually, if the battery dies, I understand this is the fastest way to turn it on.
