I had this problem, garage didn't have a clue what was wrong, but it was a blocked pipe. In the centre of the oil filter is a small plastic cross that a spring from the engine pushes against to allow oil flow, this plastic piece had snapped off the oil filter causing disruption to the oil flow. I was lucky enough to get the pieces that had snapped out of the pipe and car has been fine since. The new filter I put in the car after was made of twice as thick plastic. Hope this helps.
