I think it might be from the oil inlet filter what do you all think. It has been 15k without cleaning the oil inlet filter. Im going to do a oil change thur and clean the oil inlet.

I too have been getting the same problem. I, on the otherhand do not have a supercharged tc, just a 2006 manual. Recently I have been noticing when turning my wheel when I'm about to back into my driveway I notice the oil light comes on for a second, but then goes off as I turn the wheel back. The oil level is fine, and it isn't due for an oil change yet, so I'm really wondering what the issue could be. You said you cleaned the oil inlet? Did that really work? Anyone have ideas?

Sounds like an electrical problem. Maybe a bad oil sending unit. Have the dealer recheck their install procedure of the supercharger.

I just got a new motor the oil light was coming on because i had a spun bearing. Try this if you change your oil does it go away? If it does then you definitely have a spun bearing. Good luck
