5W-30 Mobil 1



I doubt that the 5W30 Mobil 1 is causing your problem.
Most likely, its a faulty sensor or a more serious
pumping problem.

I've used 5W30 in the past in Audi 5cyls, and it works fine.
The 10-30 is a better choice however, except in
the coldest climates.  Particularly on highway driving,
the 5-30 will be a bit thin, alsmost regardless of the
temperature.

Check the oil pressure sender first, and/or look
in the valve cover and see if oil's spurting about
with the engine running.
