Fast forward to the February oil fill. Within two hours of the fill, the boiler was again starting and stopping repeatedly every few seconds. We have the tech coming back, but I'm wondering if there might be a problem with the heating oil itself.
Is anyone else in the area experiencing similar problems?

I'm assuming you have a Riello burner... when the cad can't see the flame it will do just that. A lot of times it's a dirty cad cell or coked head. Sounds to me your technician is not familiar with the equipment.
