'87 4kq: oil light events

Huw Powell posted ~3 weeks ago that oil pan baffles had eliminated some
oil buzzer events on his coupe. I don't have an oil buzzer, but lately
I've sometimes noticed the oil light on my 4kq coming on for a
split-second at a time. I won't say it doesn't happen on deceleration
and left turns, but since I started keeping an eye out for it, my
clearest memories of it are on acceleration and right turns. Sometimes
a 90-degree right turn at 25 or 30mph will trigger it, but not every
time by any means.

The car currently has 350 miles on its most recent oil change, and the
level is still right up there. Can you good people honestly tell me, I
hope, that this doesn't indicate a serious problem? How much would oil
pan baffles set me back? TIA
