[Vwdiesel] Oil Light/Buzzer

[Sandy Cameron]

What weight oil are you using? I have that phenom. when pulling the trailer
with the skido on it. It will buzz up after a long haul with the wick turned
up, when I drop revs to 2200. It stops if I rev it once. Believe it is thin
oil and hard work/elevated temp that does it. I'm running 5w50 synth in
winter, 15w40 in summer. never seems to happen in summer.
