Hi there,

This sounds lite oil surge, when the can stops suddenly the oil flows forward in the sump and away from the pick up causing a moment of low oil pressure, what is the weight of oil used? And hoe often do you change it? You may also have a problem with a baffle in the sump, these reduce the amount of surge in the oil.
