I politely disagree. Knowing how often your DPF is cleaned will at least keep you from making unbelievable statements like “I’ve driven my (whatever brand) Diesel for over 20,000 miles and it has NEVER cleaned!” :W

Ya got me there.
My BMW X5 diesel does a regeneration about every 500 miles, which I know only because I’ve added instrumentation to watch exhaust gas temperatures. In normal use, they run in the neighborhood of 300 degrees C. When they suddenly shoot up over 500 degrees, it’s due to a dpf regeneration. BMW provides no little light or other marker. It’s supposed to be totally invisible to the owner/driver, because after all it’s supposed to be something you don’t need to worry your little head about. All anti-pollution measures are required to be totally invisible to owner/operators. The DEF system is the only one allowed to violate that, and only because it was shown to be so effective. And only then after a huge fight.
