Self adjusting trailer brakes causing low oil psi warning

I pull new travel trailers across the country. Brakes often have to be worked in so brake control aways starts at 10. After a few days, more often there is a lot of stopping involved, I have been have an issue of the truck flashing LOW OIL PRESSURE STOP NOW. Its only for a second, oil pressure gauge doesn't drop and truck reads full on dipstick.

Now this happens after I am off the brake and as soon as a out my foot back on the throttle. I turn down the trailer brake controller and it the truck will not show warning again in same situation.

Has anyone else had this happen?

    Stock controller. I have this happen in the past with the higher end trailers. Since under 100k miles on the truck. I assume its the fact Forest River is using better brakes on all trailers now. Its rare to lock up any wheels on one of these new trailers.

    "....2010 Gmc 2500 Duramax...."

    So assume you have an integrated trailer brake controller?

    Or an after market? If so, what brand, model, etc?

    Don't know what is going on. but if you have a truck with 512,000 miles that has been worked hard and has aftermarket oil filter parts, you should know best what to do next.
