Narrative:

At beginning of takeoff roll, runway 31C mdw, engine #3 low oil pressure/filter bypass light illuminated, then extinguished. Rejected takeoff less than 60 KTS, notified tower and flight attendants. Cleared runway. During taxi back to gate, flight crew contacted maintenance, referred to MEL, parked aircraft on taxiway and ran up engine #3 twice. All engine gauges (oil pressure, oil temperature and oil quantity) normal. Light did not reilluminate. Discussed with maintenance. Crew and maintenance agreed to a second takeoff. Takeoff successful with rest of flight uneventful.
