It's very difficult to tell when it's regenerating unless you know what to look for, it's almost like Volvo don't want you to know it's fitted with a DPF. The gents in maintenance I've spoken to seem confident that the 0w-30 oil can handle the contamination and worst comes to worst I'd rather change the oil twice a year than replace the DPF biannually.
I've done a write up about the behavior of the DPF which might help a lot of people avoid these issues in future http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=263914 |
But the oil level never changes on the latest D5 five cylinder and 4 cylinder engines so how can the oil be diluted without increasing the oil level?
