My Territory Turbo’s oil warning light and alarm keeps coming on when I back off and or at idle. My last oil change I used Mobil 1, 5w - 50. Could this be the issue or is it something else?

sounds like you didn't put enough oil in or the system is not getting enough pressure... take it back to whoever did the oil change and get them to be sure of it... but if you did it then make sure you put in the right amount of oil and all of the things you undid that they are done up... sump plug etc.

Check the turbo oil filter its before the oil pressure switch in the turbo.  Sort it quickly or you will have a dead turbo.

This 100% our 2007 would throw an oil light on and off very so often and the oil was always fine, no leaks etc. Got our local mechanic to look at it and after some research came across the issue mainly on turbo Falcons where the small inline filter gets clogged and stops oil flow to the turbo and it goes  😲

Luckily the Terra T seems to be routed differently as it sets off the warning light whereas from reading about the Falcon issues the 1st you know is when your turbo dies 😰
