So it doesn't work as well, and hence the oil dilution.
Not a problem on 'proper' vehicles, like Range Rover and Jaguar.
Chris.
Sorry Chris, but for the record, the latter comment is simply incorrect: JLR have consistently mounted vehicle DPF’s too far downstream of the exhaust manifold in several vehicles, including the L494 and L405 as well as the smaller siblings you mentioned. Dilution can be a problem in any diesel JLR product.
However, I would say that the dilution algorithm can often overestimate dilution level. Based on testing oil samples in my own TDV6, dilution increases about 1% per 2500 miles mostly urban driving. I tend to change oil at this interval, since it coincides with 6months of driving for me. One caveat is that I monitor regens in almost an OCD way and rarely have an aborted regen. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
