countryman Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 What would be the newest pickup that did not have a DPF on it, I know cars had to have them from a certain year on but I thought commercials were a bit later. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 2009 i think. I know that mine is allot lower MPG with a DPF than the previous truck without the DPF. Could never understand the way it works, to burn off the diesel particulates it needs to burn MORE fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyn Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I have a 2007 D3 commercial without DPF. The 2008's had DPF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryman Posted November 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I am fed up with DPF problems , my last pick up was an Isuzu D max and that was a nice truck ruined by it, I make a lot of short trips and that truck would need to re gen every week sometimes twice, the oil level would go up at a dangerous rate very quickly needing a lot of oil changes.

Stephen-H Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Diesel particulate filter you can have them deleted on some models needs the ecu reprograming tho & can/will effect emissions test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be a pain but I'm not sure what it has to do with your oil level? Or oil changes? It's just a catalytic filter in the exhaust that collects the soot that is common from diesel engines under some conditions where combustion is incomplete. When they fill up to a certain level the ECU will inject additional fuel late or outside of the cycles to raise exhaust temperatures. When the filter gets hot enough the soot burns off. Some ash is left behind for impurities of from the engine oil and eventually the filter will be full of ash and need replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adzyvilla Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Pretty sure some (not all) l200s up to 2011 are dpf free. Mitsubishi possibly the last manufacturer to bring them in. After that time they all have them. Edited November 6, 2022 by adzyvilla terrible spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Cars with a diesel engine and DPF that are mainly used for short trips can have an increased oil level because the DPF regeneration process gets cut short during those short trips. The use of biodiesel only exacerbates the problem.20 Jun 2022 https://lifeonfour.co › car-talk › wh... Engine Oil Level It is well documented about increase of the engine oil as a result of problems with the DPF , Volvo dealer's recommend not filling the oil to the maximum to help, Landrover had lots of problems with the new 2 litre engine when it came out as people didn't understand. You need to check oil levels regular and never stop the engine if a regen is ongoing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryman Posted November 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 On my DMax they even put a second mark on the dip stick, if the oil reached that it was time to change the oil as the diesel in it had got to much, a complete pain and expensive. At the dealers I used to use they had an Engine on the floor one day that had blown due to runaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weihrauch17 Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 When I retired I swapped my Diesel Yeti for a petrol Forester for exactly this reason as most of my journeys are now short, DPF's are a totally expensive PITA if you mostly do short journeys.

Dave at kelton Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Exactly why I got rid of my l200 and bought a van, also fuel economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV98 Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I think some of the more modern diesels have solved the problem of oil dilution, instead of performing additional injection pulses during and after ignition in the combustion chamber there is an additional injector which sends fuel directly to the dpf to burn off the fuel thus reducing the risk of fuel getting into the oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrycatcat1 Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Thought mine was bad enough with adblue gone from £9.99 for 10 litres to £25 for 10 litres in a relatively short period 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hod Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Dpf and egr removed off my 2012 Amarok and ecu reprogrammed a couple of years back. Smells like the bowels of an old ferry when you drive off, but problem free. Bit of a FU to the environment mind you… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
