Just curious how often (mileage) others are experiencing regens and what their driving habits are.

My driving is roughly 85% highway and 15% city. My daily 110 round-trip commute does, more often than not, include some sitting in stop & go traffic on the expressway, so that is going to skew things, but I digress. I also do a weekly trip up to the cabin and back (~190 miles each way), 90% expressway and the rest above 55 mph on state roads.

Using FORScan to monitor and see the applicable PIDS, it looks like I'm averaging a regen once every ~300 miles. I have ~6K miles on my F350 Platinum CCSB.

What is your experience?

 

I monitor with the Edge CTS2. Normally I have 80% city and 20% highway, 30 mile round trip to work with 13k fifth wheel monthly in the summer. Swapped out factory oil at 1,000 miles with T6 and it generally would regen every 250 miles. Switched to the CJ-4 Delo at 3,000 miles after the T6 debacle and it has went to 400-450 miles between regens, sometimes 500. I have 6,000 miles on it now

 

Every 425 miles if it completes the last cycle. If it doesn't complete, it does not resume next time it runs. It waits to hit 100% again before regenerating.

 

I’m also in the 425 range.

 

When you say T6 debacle can you clarify that? I posted a thread a while ago reference oil preferences and seemed to be a mix reposes. So I decided to buy the T6 last week and motor craft filter. I’m waiting another 500 Miles before I change factory oil. Do you mean you were just regening more frequently than what you should of with T6?

 

The T6 kept my regens in the 225-250 mile range, Delo is 400-450 mile range. The T6 debacle was Shell admitted some T6 jugs may have been CK-4 oil even if the jug said CJ-4 which at the time was not approved by Ford, it is now. Just thought that was shady on their part, kind of glad though, I get way more mileage between regens now.
Lastly, you are always going to get mixed responses on an oil thread....

 

I initially was getting one around every 325 miles or so

Something happened to mine around 4000 miles and it stopped regenerating based on the common variables and now only regenerates like clockwork at the 500 mile fail safe interval that Ford has built into the PCM

I have had one Check Engines Light for Low DPF pressure. Dealer cleared it and wanted another to occur that has not yet occurred.

I likely have a failing DPF with a crack in the substrate as has happened on previous Super Duties.

Keep in mind the DPF is only covered under the 3/36 warranty and not under extended warranty and surprisingly not under the emissions warranty.

I am running Motorcraft 5w-40w Full Synthetic oil.

 

Where can I find the DPF is only covered on the 3/36. That’s shocks me. If that’s the case I may end up deleting after 3/36 I don’t think I’ll have a powertrain issue with that stuff pulled off.

 

This is very interesting. I towed our fifth wheel in October and every since mine has not behaved the way it use to. I even thought I had either really cooked it out good and it will revert back after awhile or I broke something in the dpf. Can you elaborate on this?
