Could really do with advise. Recently had the oil changed at dealership. After this have had warnings of oil pressure. Details below. Took it back to dealership they say the pressure is low and have written off the car, new engine, contact sales manager etc. I have read posts about increasing weight of oil or using an additive. Not clear where I should go from here. DO the specifics below offer any obvious direction to those more knowledgable. Did not have any pressure warning issues prior to oil change.
Details: After about 30 mins of engine use (no issues prior to this) the oil pressure light flickers and buzzer sounds when van is stationary (stop light etc) the warning clears immediately the van start to move. When stationary and the light buzzer comes on moving into neutral clears the warning - it comes back on when put into drive and the van still stationarry. After a perior of this - depending how many stops I come to - all will be fine and no warning comes on when the van is stationary. My journey is about 1 hour so I have not explored longer times.
Ideally want to get 12 more months out of the van. But is it time to bail or is the dealership doing what it does best? I would appreciate some direction.
NEW INFO: Pressure at idle with engine warm in 8
