So from what I'm understanding, diesels with particle filters need to be driven about
once a week for about 15 minutes at around 60 KPH at around 2,000 rpm to get the
regen cyle going and burn off all the particulates in the filter, otherwise there's a risk
that lots of low engine speed running will clog up the filter and EGR systems.
A little bit of education to new owners would go a long way towards expensive problems
as i think most owners would get the idea quickly and make sure their diesels run properly.
maybe even a bit of tech on the dash to trll drivers when next regen is coming due..
Bet that EcoLPI Falcon is looking pretty good about now...
