Low engine oil pressure
I have an 02 911 and lately when I shift to first gear and if I go light on the gas pedal the console flashes" low engine oil pressure" and then goes away. The oil level seems okay. Any ideas?

only thing I can think is maybe the oil filter is crushed /dirty. id do an oil change/filter replacement and see what happens
