Low oil light under hard braking

I was testing my brakes today and I saw low oil light came on when under hard braking.
my oil is exactly half a quart below full mark, I'm going to bring it up to full tomorrow and run autocross see if it helps.

Good, cause the only other thing I read was to swap out the oil pan......and that was on earlier models.

Consider that your 'hey, I'm likely down 1/2 qt. light!"
