what oil?

I thought that was normal ;) I went through this just after the car came out of warranty. Hot summer day, sitting in traffic, oil light would come on with all sorts of additional dash warnings and go off as soon as you throttle it just the tiniest bit.
I had pressure switch replaced and pan checked for sludge. Talked to both dealer and indy shop. I installed VDO pressure gage and I can see that the gage still shows some pressure, even though idiot light is on. (While buying the gage, I found out that VW owners have the same issues.)
Now for the solution: use Mobil1 0/40. I've never had the issue again since (5 years), except for one time. The mechanic refilled the crankcase with standard 10/W30 after replacing oil cooler, and same thing happened...
Doesn't solve the problem, but I hope this helps.
Thanks -- Erwin
