I use 5w 30, make sure it's ok for turbo diesels, others use slightly different grades, there's a factsheet in the members area that should help.

Hopefully a top-up will sort it :?

It could just be a touch low, it picks up on low level way before it's a problem, could be the sensor if it doesn't go out with a top up, just don't let him overfill it.
