JR, you state that the dealer ck'd the oil pressure and it was ok. This scenario appears repeatedly in the archives and includes solutions from incorrect switches installed, to recommended oil and oil filter combinations. I recently cured this same symptom by using a Mahle filter with 20W50 oil. If the oil pressure is ok, then the buzzer is not a deal breaker. Move on to looking for rust issues.................
