Has that stopped since?
Newer equipment has a lot of extra controls and sensors that are more sensitive...
We could try to guess at which of these might be the underlying cause but frankly as the owner
you should be able to do that even better through familiarity with YOUR equipment
and having the owners manual and troubleshooting guide to read through.
It's probably fine but either way... call your service guy to go over everything.
And be available to have him go over it all *with you* listening and taking notes.

Remember how every fall the oil company would send out a guy for a "tune up"?
You don't need that as much as with an oil burner... but boilers still need regular attention.
