The sulfated ash content of DEO = 1.0% (by weight). I doubt that would harm a DPF, but again - I'm not recommending he use this oil. I'm saying I would run it, and it's a great oil for this application.
They do not harm
many many other DPF on any other engines and exhausts so why would they harm a VW or MB -- DPF ?
If you can not answer the question -- it has been answered .
The VW / MB specs are way out of reality and I defy anyone to prove me wrong
