Guys, I have had zero problems dispensing 1oz out of the FBC bottle. Squeeze it to fill the dispensing reservoir to the 1oz mark, and then turn the bottle so the hose exit is on top, and pour the 1oz out of the little hose. Now if you do all that but turn the bottle to pour out the without having the hose on top, then more fluid than just the 1oz will run down to the hose! I’m on my 2nd or 3rd bottle, and I wouldn’t use a syringe.

@Squirrel13 I ordered them from Pittsburgh Power when I ordered the Max Mileage.

I ordered five of them since they said they don't last.

I do. I got back to 400-500 mile regens when not towing and combination city/hwy driving. If I tow my small 16’ Jayco TT, the soot stays down around 20% for the entire trip, and that Jayco isn’t much of a load. It puts my exhaust temps in the 450-600* range depending on terrain and speed. Larger trailers of course definitely keep the soot percentage down too. When towing anything I am forced to regen at the 500 mile limit.

Yeah it would be nice to be able to shut off the auto regen like the 20 plus trucks.
Just had a regen that was 489 miles out from the last one and lasted 25 miles. But the truck gauge went up to 100% because I was at the academy the week prior for the police driving course and don't drive the expressway like I do for work; so lower speed driving and more stop and go. I drive right from my house to the Bills stadium where we do the courses in the parking lots.
Anyways, the iDash went all the up to 121%. As I was driving on the expressway in anticipation of this regen, the truck had wicked passive regening going on with it dropping from 121 to 105%. It shot back up to 111% before it went active. This was a longer regen that I had seen in a long while but I have not seen 100% soot load in awhile though. But she regened all the way down to 20% during this run. iDash went all the way down to 0.0% before it shut off. Have not seen that in a long time or even ever.

My last active regen prior to this one was 533 miles out. This one did not go to 500 miles because of the lower speeds I was driving at, more stop and go, more idle time and no expressway driving, especially when I drive home and altitude climbs on the expressway.
I put on at least 100 miles yesterday from the 18 miles for the drive in, to going for fuel, getting on expressway, waiting for regen to kick in, the regen itself and the drive so it could cool off then home.
I have the academy again next week so more stop and go low speed driving. We will see what happens... Stay tuned.

I've seen my soot percentage drop many times due to passive regen. Ironically, it has happened most frequently while driving a constant 45-50mph. With that said, I normally only see passive regens drop the soot percentage by a few points. Nothing more than 5 points that I can recall.

My truck dash DPF % drops gradually during active regen. If the weather ever warms up I’ll get the 5th wheel out and see if I can get some passive regen going.

I guess a good question to ask folks here is: has anyone seen the truck gauge drop while towing and maintaining proper temps of EGT4 for passive regeneration?
I'm also thinking that maybe the ECM programming is maybe set up like that, that the total soot load on the display doesn't drop, as part of the auto regen 500 mile limit on the 11 to 19 trucks. But that doesn't explain @senix 's Unicorn truck, his 13 F350 DRW.
