It depends on how much you use it, took a couple of weeks on mine the oil gets all over the place. |

Had to have mine flushed 4 or 5 times in the end. Took a few days for oil smell to go.

Mine took ages to get rid of the smell. I soaked it in “ chassis wash” mixed 50:50 sprayed down in the v with a garden sprayer let it soak and gently rinsed it off, all good now, paranoia can take over if your not careful!. |

If you’re using it for 20mins each day that’s a recipe for a DPF to start giving you issues. Take it for longer trips |
