I really can't see a problem here, drive car to work & back & once a fortnight take it down a dual carriageway for 10miles at 60mph. How hard is that? Mine just does short rural runs near home & get a run out about once a month if that, no trouble from dpf ever. Fact is loads of drivers use diesels for mostly local & the occasional run out without probs.

Likely to be a set pressure differential measured across the filter.

I think one is creating non existent problems here. I don't know anybody who has had dpf light on doing mostly short journeys. You don't usually hear of problems with Cits. I thought that was the idea of the bag of Eloys? I think to have problems one would have to drive in town & never go faster than 30mph.

A sensor will take the pressure before and after the filter and when the difference gets too great it will trigger the regeneration cycle. Think of it like an air filter that gets blocked over time but rather than changing it you clean it out by regeneration process. Ok ?
I dare say there may be systems that use the injection system " history " to determine the service interval.
