You need to be quick behind a Nissan 4wd or else you'll be recirculating soot I think.
I'm hitting the recirc button too... My daily short trips play a big part in earlier soot buildup, so when I finally get to the HWY it's ready to blow it out the back and it's noticeable from the rear view mirror at times. I don't mind it, it is what it is. It's been two weeks since my last decent drive and it's not at any level to make me think I need to get it out on the HWY again.

well accumulation will always build up, when the software deems levels are enough to regen it'll do it. It doesn't clean all the time as we know only when required (much like an oil filter but monitored in the case of the DPF) build up burn off - rinse and repeat.
