Red face oil warning lamp

Dear users
in recent months it has happened to me that after driving at high rpm, leaving the engine idling or even driving relaxed, the oil lamp comes on.
I checked with my ThinkOBD 500 but no DTCs are active.
Can anyone help me?
My 8 is a early first series with around 90000 km, 231 HP. I use reccomended Mazda oil. Oil level is halfway between minimum and maximum.

Thanks in advance
Maurizio

Known issue with the oil level sensor in 2004-2006 (maybe later too) cars. I think there's an updated oil pan and sensor that you could install to solve it if it bothers you. Mine does this after track days, but only after track days.
