2012 VW Tiguan 2.0 Turbo w/ 4Mtion Transmission - Getting Low Oil Pressure Warning

Good Morning,

I recently purchased a 2012 Tiguan and I am completely in love with it. This is my first VW, and I think, for the price, it was a great purchase.

However, I seem to be having an intermittent issue with the "Oil Pressure Low! Turn Engine Off" notification. While driving under load, (uphill, A/C on) this blinks off then on right away. When I crest the hill, its fine. And it only seems to happen while running the A/C.

Has anyone else ever run into this? Oil was just changed prior to purchase. It is full with a full synthetic blend (according to the garage) 5/30w. I am not experiencing ANY leaks or burn off at all. Engine is NOT making any abnormal sounds, and the exhaust looks normal.

Thoughts?
