My understanding was that the ash from a high SAPs oil would build up pretty slowly and DPF would just need replacing sooner.

I might give this a go next time:

It also has the PSA approval.
Maybe the diesel has improved? I nearly always use BP Ultimate, perhaps the additives actually do something?

All I know is that since changing to the Fuchs Titan ProFlex, the engine appears to have stopped doing DPF regens. It will be interesting to see what happens with the Penrite oil.
