Was the oil temp fully up (they should have stuck a probe in dipstick)?

This happened to mine last year with virtually the same readings.Cataclean was a waste of time, turned out to be the CAT. Was told to change to Shell fuel and do not use supermarket stuff. It certainly runs better with Shell fuel

Mine normaly fails on the first couple of automated tests, but passes when the proper oil test is done...
