Engine oil system flush.

Engine oil system flush.
My current 2000 S80 T6 seems like it's having a bit of a sludge problem. When I started the car this morning it took a few seconds for the oil pressure light to go out with the message low oil pressure on the message center. ( Went out after a few seconds) . This also happened over the weekend.
My question is what product should I use for a engine oil flush. The car only has 127,000 miles on it, so I think it has a lot of life in it. Thank you again for your help. P.s. this isn't the car I plan on buying in March which needs a oil pump.

Here's the part number for the filter I bought....
72206ws . I thought Bosch was a good brand.
Thank you again for your help.

that part will fit your car - the comments about choosing filters were "best practices" and not specific to your issue at hand. Tony1963 had it right - if you are getting oil starvation, you likely have debris in the oil pick up or a worn oil pump. not properly investigating the root cause of a low pressure light will greatly shorten the life of your engine. Note that I had a similar problem in my 2012 VW CC with 49,000 miles on it. The shop dropped the pan only to find debris in the pil pick up. Given the car was still under warranty, VW approved the dealer to drop in a new long block ($9500 repair)...
