Also use a Mann filter. The idle oil pressure is very low, that combined with the thinner 30w oil could be just enough to be triggering the low oil light.
I have not had oil light come back on since I changed the oil and filter. Was originally running 5w-30. Changed to Eurospec 0w-40 and a Mann oil filter and have not had the light come on. Have driven over 500 miles now.....
I got my last filter from Amazon, Mann 719/45. Amazon's site says it doesn't fit my CC but it fit just fine and lots of the comments were from people using them on the 2.0 TSI.
Buy a Mann filter iirc, 719/45, which is made in Germany.
stick with any 502 spec oil. I personal use "German Castrol" 0w-30. for filters I use OEM or Mann.
Latest score - Made in Germany Mann oil filter - at the Habitat for Humanity Restore.
I normally use Mann oil filters... He replaced it with my normal Mann filter and it never happened again. Changed oil three times since then with the Mann filter and light has never come on.
Been using these since I got this car 3 years ago.
what I used on my old car from after the warranty ended to 215,000 miles (the last oil change before buying a new car)? Shell Rotella T6 or Chevron Delo 400 LE 5w40, which ever was cheaper at WalMart (or in stock), combined with a FRAM filter (back when it was made in Germany), then later the genuine Mann filter.
Me too, so I went back to the stock size filter and the issue improved.
