    Chevron's new Delo 600 ADF: They say that the metal lubricants in oil that eventually end up in the combustion stream make their way to the DPF filters and they don't burn off but in fact are getting trapped in the filters and shortening the life of the filters. The 600 semi synthetic is manufactured without said lubricants, so Chevron claims. I've no affiliation.

    Have you done software updates to your truck often? I was having emissions issues with the def pump, sensors, you name it.. turns out there's a few service bulletins and tech literature from freightliner talking about updating to the latest software to minimize or eliminate these issues. Provided you don't idle... Not saying it was your issue, but could be a factor. Mine is a GHG17 2016 DD13. Currently at 805k with the original onebox and filters. Def pump, doser, nox sensors have all been replaced in the past two years.

    Dales diesel onebox.. .where is he getting it from? There's dinex and roadwarrior doing these it seems? I read and heard very conflicting reviews about the aftermarket boxes. Cracked welds, overheating issues... Just to name a few. Both of these companies outright refusing to honor the warranty most often than not... And just imagine going through That while your truck is down and you are not making money?
