In regard to the ash buildup, that eventually clogs and plugs up the DPF emissions filters of diesel pickups.
A simple question:
What is the source of the MAJORITY of this ash buildup? A) The sulfated ash content of the motor oil used? or B) the diesel fuel itself, the vehicle uses? So far, of the two people within the oil industry that I have asked, I have a split decision.
As the owner of a ‘16 Chevrolet Colorado with the 2.8L Diesel engine, I am by warranty, restricted to a 5W30 Dexos2, low sulfated motor oil. (Pennzoil Platinum Euro L 5W30 / Mobil 1 ESP 5W30 type oil). If diesel fuel is really the culprit here, it sure would nice to have the options of using Rotella, Delvac or Delo.
