How does engine oil affect DPF?
Upwards of 90% of the ash that goes into the DPF is from the lubricant. Ash and soot buildup – left behind when engine oil is burned during combustion – shrinks the size of the DPF, and causes engine back pressure and excessive regeneration cycles.
Does a DPF use oil?
For optimum performance of the DPF, most vehicles will require a Low or Mid SAPS oil. Why do DPFs need Low or Mid SAPS oils? Ash is produced after combustion and is carried, along with soot to be trapped by the DPF.
