I changed oil today and it looked to be slightly more than I originally put in (12.3 liters).
Are the 6.7's making oil?
Kind of wondering considering my truck now has 3 or 4 regens per tank. Now the F450 has a big tank but I still consider this to frequent.
I have not had the time to take it to the dealer. It runs perfectly otherwise.

Regen
This year I noticed my 2017 F450 (with 9800 miles) has been going through a regen every 150 miles. I only use this truck to haul my truck camper and it’s all highway miles.
I watch the filter go to 100% and it does it’s regen and drops to zero. Then in about 150 miles it does it again like clockwork.
I’ve never noticed this before but maybe I didn’t pay close enough attention to it. But 3 or 4 regens per tank seems excessive.
Is this normal operation?
I had the truck in for some recalls and I was concerned they flashed it. So I called them and they said nothing was done with the trucks computer.

Ypu.might be just be cleaning the dpf face not the filter substrate. Don't trust the monitor most of it is a algorithm. Time regen x theoretical soot fill.
The ash count is a solution a formula.

My dilution comes in at .5% or less and I use mine horribly. I don't tow. Most of my trips are five miles each way low speed city and the truck isn't driven very often. Do an oil analysis. Do at least one if you are concerned about how your use is affecting the engine. There are a lot of immortal myths about how a diesel must be used. Those turn up frequently in context of how someone is using their truck. An oil analysis will give you a pretty good idea of your engine's health. Of course, an oil analysis won't tell you anything about your DPF or your EGR. I regen around every 150 miles. So, my soot percentage climbs around .66% per mile. The owner's manual says regens between 100-500 miles are normal. Whatever puts a load on the engine, like towing heavy- raises your EGTs and will passively burn soot out of the DPF, so regens while towing heavy would be toward the high side. A lot of idle and crawling driving will get you to the low end. Towing light and running highway speeds is going to soot up the DPF pretty fast too. You're just not seeing high EGTs to extend the regens. And running at highway speeds is burning more fuel so you have more soot.

I have tried different fuels and I use PM22 as well. This started after the block heater recall in June. I still believe the truck was flashed.

it reduces 60% of soot and that make the emissions work 1 half. and increases combustion. It quietude engine and I got 3 mpg better no trailer.
I have used in my class 8 for years. I won't run without it.
