If it persists, I'd be suspicious of the oil pump or another oiling problem. Are your revs dropping more than usual? Thicker oil might help if the issue is a weak oil pump.

I definitely would NOT be commuting in it until I figured out if it's actually oiling the engine properly or not. These engines will go some time with zero oil pressure under gentle conditions, but not that long.

Definitely no change in the behavior of the engine at all. I reconnected the aux fan, but forgot to reset the code with my foxwell (not sure if it resets itself after it faults). I will do that before I start it next.
