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.................
