This sounds like a real concern since I mostly do 15-20 minute stints in congested traffic with the car idling much of the time. Chances are I will not get the exhaust hot enough for proper burning (oil level issues) and will stop the car in the middle of its burning cycle (clogged DPF) frequently. Could be a real PITA. TIme will show as I won't get the car for at least 3 months.

Not used to check the oil level, either - my current Mondeo TDCi doesn't use any, nor has any of my previous cars for the past 15 years. Checked the level yesterday for the first time in 8000 miles (due to upcoming vacation drive) - still sits at the max level
