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
