I would be careful doing engine flushes on these motors, there are too many oil passages etc that can be clogged up. If the engine is that bad it needs to be taken apart cleaned and inspected. There is no "mechanic in a bottle".
... the DOF did not cause those issues.
There could have been a blockage in one of the oil galleys or there could have been an airlock bubble in the system.
The amount of oil drawn by the DOF is only 400 mL/min at max pressure (75 psi).
If idling <20psi) , the DOF will only be using less than 100 ml/min.
If the DOF was the issue, we would have tons of complaints from all of the installed units in every type of M96 and M97 engine.
Happy Porscheing,
Pedro
