This.
Without any diagnostic codes being thrown the mechanics are not going to have a clue what's wrong or how to fix it.
You're right and I think there is nothing wrong with it. I had my truck parked outside all winter and we had a very cold winter this past year. If the DEF was frozen at the beginning of each trip and if by the time the def tank thawed the the trip was about over it would explain why I didn't use much def. I turned my auto regen off and eventually my DPF % full started to climb. Once it hit 5% it didn't actually take all that long to reach 60% full. At 60% full I turned the auto regen back on and it immediately went into a regen. The regen cycle lasts for quite awhile longer after the % full gauge says 0%. So I think what was happening is that after completely cleaning DPF the 500 mile mandatory regen would take place even though the gauge was still reading 0% full.
