I wasn’t joking when I said you have to have literally zero oil pressure for the light to come on. The oil pressure switch activates when you have less than 2.1psi of oil pressure which is like, catastrophic engine grenade scenario. I’ve seen people put windows in their blocks without that light ever coming on.

That being said, being a quart and change low isn’t going to kill your motor unless you were doing some high-G cornering like that.
