Engine rebuild coming up.

Engine is fine thanks, routinely runs up to the red line and beyond, I've never known a diesel with such an appetite for revs, doesn't appear to have a rev limiter. Suspension is very tired though, the driver's seat is finally sagging, and I doubt if the (original) DMF can have much more life in it.

Oil technology is much better than it once was however modern dpf equipped cars can return diesel to the sump if not correctly regenerated, it’s a common Occurance (google it), no oil works well when diluted with diesel or risen above its level (this can happen on long journeys under ideal conditions even if the regen has not completed). The blow back gases and carbon deposits are also present for 20,000 miles.

The only FACT here is that your advice at best suits a small range of cars driven under certain conditions and at worst shows a complete lack of understanding of lubrricatiin.

Which part of "You have your opinion, I have mine, " do you not understand? It's my opinion, if it annoys you then that's too bad. Where have I provided advice?

I have some understanding of the posts that I posted, that's mainly because I posted them.

Again, where have I provided advice?
