Towing my travel trailer down US395 I got the regen message. Regen completed then within 10 minutes another regen started followed soon after by a message: diesel particulate filter 100%, take vehicle to the dealer. Luckily it didn't go into limp mode on me, it finished the regen and kept running. I was camping for about a week so I took some long drives at highway speeds, didn't get any more regen messages. Took it to the dealer today and they did a manual regen and took the DPF from 68% down to 16%.
This is my first diesel. I tow a travel trailer with it and do a lot of wheeling. I did the first oil change myself and after realizing it was $150 in parts/oil, I decided to use the Jeep Wave oil changes. My Jeep tells me it's time for an oil change every 7-8K miles and I take it right in. I assume that is because of the towing, but not sure. I do a lot of highway driving, not a lot of city driving but some.
I think I'm down to my last Jeep Wave oil change--but I will probably start doing them myself to make sure the correct oil is being used. Besides getting some highway driving in and using the right oil, how do you keep from filling up the DPF? (I've got 37500 miles on it, probably 15000 of it towing)
