Oil light randomly lit up...

Maybe someone has an explanation,

To cut a long story short i was cruising at 180kph 112.5mph for aproximately 10 mins, no boost revs around 4500 and my engine oil light came on... i saw it, and as soon as it came on i immediatly stepped of the gas and it vanished..

When i got home i let the car sit for 10 mins.. checked the oil and it was fine!?

-What i thought ..-->Driving for a long period of time @ high revs the oil pump pumped the oil continuously in a pattern perhaps bypassing the sensor temporarily? I'm not sure where the sensor is located might be impossible

Also checked the level in the morning and the level is fine...

It could be that steady 4500 RPM with no variations resulted in a lot of "windage" (oil gathering on the crank shaft and not falling back into the oil pan) causing the oil pickup to start sucking air.... not a good thing.
