Just read a study from a university saying 40% of modern diesel particulate filter failures are from short trips, not bad fuel.
Found it in a trade journal article from last month. Always blamed the fuel quality first, but the data shows the regen cycle gets interrupted too often. How many of you actually check trip length history before pulling a DPF?

Heard a mechanic on a podcast say the same thing. They called it "death by a thousand short errands." Ever notice how many people just hop to the store and back?
