May be possible it caught some air or something. I'm thinking fuel is what shut you down in the first place it would be pretty noticable if it was oil.

After running straigt veggie oil, I think you need to change the fuel filter.

When you install the new filter, fill it with Diesel Kleen and run a double dose in the fuel tank.

Veggie oil and low temps are not a good combination.

Have you checked your oil again. Make sure you are on level ground.
