As suggested by Steve above, checking for a clogged oil pickup might be a good idea. Of course you could hook up a oil pressure gauge and monitor the behaviour first.

Forget what the mobile mechanic said. Especially the suggestion to use Lucas snake oil. That in particular will do more harm than good.

Your engine has a VVT system that is sensitive to oil grade.
