There's something else wrong with your S60.

What model D5 do you have? The later (post 2012 MY) twin turbo engines are better on fuel than the earlier 185 models if driven gently to moderately.
The most economical D5's (and most refined) are the earlier 163BHP D5's. The later Euro 4 185's are less economical but this isn't down to the presence of a DPF filter - it's a whole raft of changes that relate to Euro 4 compliance and on just about any engine converted from E3 to E4 from any manufacturer, MPG has fallen slightly.
