    I usually did 1 a week but I was OTR so I was rarely in traffic. My original DPF filters lasted to 600k doing that being cleaned only once at 300k.

    My 2016 cascadia requires manual regen every 700 - 800 kms.
    Driving is local / occasionally 30-40 min run on hyway. I dont do idle .
    Can you help me figure out what could be the problem?
    I bought this truck used at 226k miles odo.. dpf filter was replaced 2020.i feel like the truck isn’t doing passive regen.

    QUOTE="snowwy, post: 9516979, member: 30838"]If idle. The engine light will come on at 9 hours. Shut the truck down at 9.50 hours. IIRC.

    You'll have to do a regen. Takes 45 minutes.

    If idle after that. Plan on 5 hours for the second round. And I think it was close to 90 minutes for the second regen.

    Been down that road a few times waiting in Cali for a load out. 12 and 16 models.[/QUOTE]

    DPF filters on a Cascadia should be cleaned every 100k miles. How many miles on the truck since you bought it?

    That's way too often. Shouldn't need cleaning sooner than 300K miles or more. Your truck will set a code and turn on the CEL when to do it.

    4 regens in 2000 miles and city driving. You might not be driving long enough on the highway to do a passive regen. I’d have it checked out with a scanner and see what’s going on.

    It was a once a year maintenance thing for me. One box lasted 700k miles with the original filters. Then again I had a 2013. His 2016 might be different.
