It may take hours to complete the task once the regeneration procedure has been initiated. In some cases, the DPF must be removed from the vehicle and serviced using a specialized machine that completes the process and disposes of the soot particles appropriately. The DPF is considered regenerated when the soot particles are sufficiently removed.Parked DPF regen: When the truck requests DPF regeneration, you press a button on the dash to initiate DPF regeneration. Forced DPF Regen: A forced DPF regen is started by a diagnostic scan tool at the dealer level. It is not necessary for these conditions to be perfectly met because doing so will still result in a regeneration. The system

Due to the raised exhaust temperatures on a long journey (temperatures between 350 and 500�C), the procedure occurs slowly and continuously across the catalytic-coated (with platinum) DPF. The catalytic-coated DPF is situated close to the Engine, therefore the exhaust gas temperature is high enough (500�C) to ignite the soot particles.
On my way to the lake district in January, 150 miles up the M6, DPF light and check engine light came on, into limp mode. Took to Mazda dealer who said oil level was low, they topped up and performed a DPF regen. Car was fine whilst away but after 80 miles of the return journey, same thing again, half way down the M6. First, check oil level isn't too high (i.e on the X) and warm the engine up. If it is too high, skip the dpf regen and do it last of all.

I made a cable with a flat pin on one end and TIP: If you are using a diagnostic tool/scanner, keep an eye on the DPF regen count every week or two. If it is not increasing carry out a static regen. The DPF is expensive to remove for cleaning as it is located between the engine and bulkhead and requires removal of the front subframe and steering rack. .
