Title: Check your oil intake screen for gunky oil
Post by: sdub on April 22, 2026, 03:48:14 PM
Several of us had Optimax DFI oil "go bad" over the winter such that it clogged our system and shut our engines down. It is apparently a known thing that happens.

Best practices: 

- strain your oil through a paint filter to see if there are any little globs.
- periodically check your pickup screen in your oil reservoir
