Oil Light

I had an oil light come on last night, happened in a really really tight curve that I took fast. I have had one come on when going over the really sharp hill at the top of my driveway when going really too fast and the car pulled a little negative G force. I keep a tight watch on my oil level and it is to the top of the marked indicator on my dip stick.....thinking out loud could it be the plastic baffle in the oil pan has deformed and allows the oil to "slosh" or displace more than it should..?

I also change my oil before it goes away for the winter and then in the dead of summer so it never even turns color, my car never uses a drop and never smokes ??

My magnetic drain plug is clean except for the finest of coatings that is about as thick as a flys wings, I have 70K miles on her

A but confused
