Youre low on oil maybe and hitting the brakes made the oil swish around in there and the oil exposed the sensor that says its low - so it may be pretty close to putting on the light and usually at that point its already too low.

bro i have tat same problem... ur engine most likely is burning oil just top it up or get 10W-30 oil next time u go for an oil change its thicker oil it won't burn as fast as the 5W-30. do go to high rev's alot... cuz if u floor ur car all the time it burns more oil. i got fedup with my engine.... oh and btw check for oil leaks..

the sensor that makes your light come on is not near the oil that is in the pan though its en route through the motor.

have you checked your oil level??
