Hot oil, low rpms.

Could be. Could be stiction also.

One thing that can be done is to swap injectors (edit) 5 and 7 and see if the code moves to the #5 cylinder.

Sorry for a "cut and paste" mistake on the previous post. I edited it for the correct injector/cylinder numbers.

It would be wise to change the o-rings. EDIT again - I see in post #1 that there is only 15k on the injectors. You may not need to use new o-rings then.

Also, usually stiction is a cold oil issue though.

It would be wise to change the o-rings. I assume the injectors have quite a few miles on them.

they have 15k roughly on them

If it was a local shop, could you run it by them and see what they say about it? Maybe they would do some troubleshooting and cover it under warranty?
