0 bignev Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 This is possibly not that much use to you, but we had a Mazda 6 2.0 diesel, with the awful DPF (diesel particulate filter) that used to do this.What ours, and others I believe, did was when it thought the filter needed "regenerating" (cleaning) it would squirt more diesel fuel in on the exhaust stroke of the engine to theoretically "wash" the filter in the exhaust.However what did happen was that as the engine got a bit older the fuel would wash past the piston rings and into the sump, diluting the already thin 5/30 oil.It even had a big yellow advice sticker on the engine cover advising that when the "oil" level went UP to the 'X' mark to do an oil / filter change.So if yours has an injection timing problem maybe it's something remotely similar?Or could be nothing like!CheersNev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
