Generally, it is claimed that a DPF is good for around 120 000 k's using the correct oils and oils with a higher SAPS and additive content might cut that life in half. Then of course some vehicles implement the DPF clean strategy much better than others.

Do you know what the SAPS is for the Shell, because I tried to find out and Shell wasn't saying.
I am away for a few month's when I get back aI am going to send a virigin sample away to find out.
It is not the dealers saying the Shell, when FCA did the oil spec change that is the oil they recommended for Australia.I suspect it is very similar to the Shell they use in thd States.
