Could be the oil pick up pipe blocked, I got lucky and caught mine in time.

It is common as said,  Make sure you use the revised oil filter... its the size of a tractor filter, is £5.00 from TPS or £8.50 ish genuine list price, depending on if you have a TPS,  the idea is to increase the engine oil capacity a bit,  3.5l isnt enough and it turns to sludge to quickly, then change the oil using the correct grade and ONLY Fully synthetic every 5-6k miles to prevent problems in the future.
