Normally the DPF is 'self-generating' in that it does not require any specific maintenance. However, the DPF can become clogged if the vehicle is only driven for short distances all the time - this may result in a costly visit to the workshop. This is from Australia 2013-2 Supplement to the Owner's Manual, p16: 'If the vehicle is mostly driven
How long does a DPF regeneration take? Passive DPF regeneration occurs naturally under normal driving conditions and may require hours of continuous driving at highway speeds to complete. The active DPF regeneration process typically takes 20-30 minutes, during which time the engine must be run at a specific temperature and RPM.

I am a lady driving a Peugeot 3008 1.6 diesel EGC doing about 10,000 miles a year, mostly on short runs of between 10 and 15 miles with only an occasional longer one. I keep reading about the particulate filter and its adverse effects. Can you please explain what you consider a short journey and how long you must run the engine when stationary? In a recent reply you wrote "the DFP was
2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty 123,000 mi, Visitor. DPF cleaning cycle is almost a daily issue, when in cleaning cycle I loose power and fuel gage drops fast. 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty 100,000 mi, Visitor. Cleaning exhaust filter light comes on while on interstate doing 70. Truck slows down to 45.Press and hold the regeneration button for a few seconds, until the regen warning light goes off and the regen process light starts to blink. Wait for the process to finish, about 30 to 40 minutes. During the regen process, the engine will idle higher as the RPMs are increased, and there will be a burning smell as particulates are incinerated.
As proof that newer emissions equipment has been vastly improved, take a look at the LML Duramax. The DPF found behind this engine (’11-‘16) is twice the size of the unit found on the LMM (’07.5-‘10), which is to say that DPF regeneration (regen) cycles—the self-cleaning mode that burns off accumulated soot in the DPF—are less frequent.
