Just on the first item, what LR say is that one should drive at least 20 minutes at between 37 and 70 mph. At the lower end of that spectrum 12 miles might be enough, but I'd regard 12 miles as a short journey in diesel terms. You might be better looking at a petrol/PHEV so you could just drive the car when you want/need to, rather than setting out on special journeys just to get a regeneration cycle in.

Frankly if most of your journeys are short then you will see a significant reduction in the times and miles driven between requested oil changes.

To be honest an oil change of a FF is so simple and relatively cheap there is no reason even basic DIY'er should do it.

The oil dilution/dpf issue is an 2L illness, not general for all diesels I assume.

I wouldn’t worrie too much about it our 2011 is mainly the wife’s car through the week she drive 4 miles to work and 4 miles bac, odd weekends I use it on a little longer journeys in a year and half I think we’ve had a yellow warning on about 3 times for dpf and just take it for a longer run straight away normally motorway journey it normally clears within 5 mins check the launch code reader and levels are back to very low

Sadly it affects SDV8's as well. Several people on this forum for starters. What do I put here then? |

I don't think it was a problem with the previous engines. But I'm no mechanic - hence my post. What do I put here then? |

I’m afraid oil dilution with the sdv8 is a real issue, there’s a bit more info here https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/post619598.html#619598

After my last oil change, I am monitoring this as well. I dropped 6000km in the first 200km. I was about to go back to the garage. But since then the km until service has remained constant even gone up a bit over the next 600km.

So I changed the route I drive to work. The time taken is the same but there are a few km on a motorway. Since doing this, the km until the next service is going up (not down as expected). I know that it will start going down again. I hope that the dongle gets here soon as I would be interested in the re-gen numbers. SDV8 AB MY 2020

so everything was going well. Km until the next service dropped 8000km after 20*50km with an average of 60km/h and 4*25km with an average of 50km/h - this was in the last 24 hours. None of this was stop/start. All fast B-roads and motorways. I have 2*25km journeys tomorrow. So I will see how it goes.
