There has been a few problems lately with lo2 oil pressure, failed oil pumps and trashed engines.
We don't know what is going on yet.
Have your mechanic put a pressure guage on where the oil presure switch is and see whats going on.
There seems to be some indications that failing chains are releasing bits which are taking out the oil pump. Perhaps low oil pressure is not allowing the chain slack adjusters to work which then causes chain damage.
The turbo's have larger oil pumps as the turbo needs oil flow and there are oil jets which spry onto the bottom of the pistons. The turbo's are not seeing the problems that we see on the 2.3L NA engines.
As things are starting to appear marginal, I suggest that folks go to Mobil One and use chemical treatment to free up sluge and free sticking rings etc, one week prior to the oil change.
Do not add any of the thick STP type oil addatives. We had one report where this seems to have turned synthetic oil into goo and major damage.
