'03 Turbo - Oil Light Flashes When Braking

[voiddweller]

Hello,

My GT is acting very strange. The oil light sporadically comes on and chimes when I brake. After two seconds the light and chime stop.

I don't know if this is a coincidence, but it started about a month after changing the oil to synthetic.

The oil level is fine and the filter seems tight. I put the filter on by hand because I didn't want to over-tighten it, but I used a decent amount of force and don't see any leaks around the seal.

The car drives fine and I don't hear any engine noise that would cause me to think that the pressure is actually too low.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
