I have a 2011 fe570 with 108 hrs on it. issues started a week ago with surging when holding a steady throttle, progressivly got worse to the point where it would idle but on throttle of 1/2 or more it would die with whats sounds like a bit of a back fire. its now to the point where it will idle...

Just started berg after winter hibernation. Changed oil first an it looked pretty black with sludge on magnet, but only a few bits of shrapnel. It was a pig to start. When it finally burst into life its spewed a load of oil out of the exhaust manifold, its like treacle!! This is a bit worrying...
