You essentialy have a new DPF and thus the extended regen intervals so you won't be getting much oil dilution. Most other owners with >12 year old cars are having much more frequent regens and oil dilution then becomes an issue and a reason to change oil more frequently. I've seen no evidence of diesel content in engine oil evapourating to any significant extent but you are free to belive what you want but since the introduction of DPF's this has been a know issue for diesel cars. In the early days there were examples of engine runaways as the contamination got so bad and the oil level got so high. My old Saab TTDI had to have a software update to fix this as did many other manufacturers. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Maybe people with 12 year old dpf's should start treating their dpf as the filter that it is, you know, because of the the 'f' in dpf.

When my ECU tells me it's reched it's soot holding limit I'll get it cleaned but I'd need to find a company that can also remove it as the ones I've looked at all require the customer to do this for them. Did you have to cut it out yourself? My power and economy are OK and changing the oil every 5-7k miles is quick, easy and cheap as it is for most people. As I said if you have a fresh DPF with no ash load you have nothing to worry about.

That sounds great. Are you monitoring regen intervals and what are they? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

no I am not, got a DPF Full warning, but I had to drive to B'Ham there and back to attend a show at the NEC, and it cleared. Is Hendon near you Jaygee, Luka comes highly recommended by GGDR https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic48068.html LUKA and OPTION 3 ON MY 4.4TDV8: £250 So today I went to www.tdsrecon.co.uk North London, Hendon area. I liked these guys because the will remove and DPF, clean it, refit it and reset the ECU - all on site. Many don’t do that. Luka there is a turbo/egr/DPF specialist and he's got a £40,000 DPF cleaning 'flash' machine. It's a modest place ( Thumbs Up ) on an industrial estate and they know their stuff.

That's basically where I cut mine to remove it (2 cut's) as my local place (ITS Turbo's near Leeds) have a big enough machine to take it , think it was about £130 with a 2 year warranty , not had any issues since having it cleaned early last year . |

Hmm... ![]() 1 - Your old engine oil was changed at 25,859km and had a tested fuel contamination of 7.2% 2 - The replacement oil has now done 16,328km, so simple maths says you are likely at 4.5% fuel dilution (I'm ignoring your claim that previous fuel dilution was high due to Forced Regen's recently prior to oil analysis, as I don't believe diesel in the crankcase will vaporise off). 3 - You have an engine with a quarter of a million Km's on it - if I read your oil analysis correctly? 4 - You're now running a 0W/30 oil that is 'thinner' when cold (and it's winter time) I'd be changing the oil, if it was me. Especially as a quick internet search finds that some laboratories classify the limit value for fuel in oil to be 2-4%, others stating that 5% is a critical level. Not sure what LR say for this particular engine, I'm sure there's a thread on here somewhere with that information.

Viscosity shouldn't be much different to 5W30 except when the ambient temperature is below the lower limit for 5W30. |
