Thanks to members on the Fortuner Forum I was able to program my Scangauge II to read DPF sensors (trying to get a copy of Techstream tho).
Here are some DPF stats for 0-10,000Km on my 2018 GXL Prado:
Mileage Breakdown:
a. 3,000Kms on the open highway (100-110Kms/hr),.
b. 400Kms desert tracks including 300+ sand dunes (0-15-40Kms/hr).
c. The rest city driving.
DPF regens at highway speeds.
Average Kms to complete a full regen = 70Kms
Regens often ended at 4% and some at 0%
DPF regens for city driving/desert tracks:
Average Kms to complete a full regen = 21Kms
Regens ended at 6%
Continuous (not interrupted) regens city driving/desert tracks:
Average Kms to complete a full regen = 14Kms
Interrupted regens city driving:
Average Kms to complete a full regen = 25Kms
Average Kms to warm-up and resume the DPF regen after interruption(parked overnight etc) = 5-8Kms
DPF Temperatures:
in the high 500 Degrees C for the first 50%+ of the burn
in the mid-high 600 Degrees C for the last phase of the burn
General:
a . Overall economy = 8.7 Ltrs/100Km
b. Total number of full DPF regens = 28
c. Average Kms between full regens = 353Kms
e. Idle revs increased to around 900 rpm during the burn
f. the burn continued whilst at stop lights
g. a burn resumed when interrupted by switching the engine off (eg parking at work or home overnight)
Notes:
a. occasionally the DPF saturation % would drop a little whilst on the way up (mostly during highway driving).
b. an odd occurrence in the city following a burn, the DPF % increased from 6% to 24% in less than 15Kms. The next day whilst driving DPF % grew to 28% and then dropped to 16% (????)
c. looks like short trips of less than 5-8Km (maybe a little more) won't produce the conditions for the DPF to complete a burn. This is how long its taken to warm the system up after a shutdown.
d. A DPF burn went just fine during a 200Km crawl over 300+ sand dunes along the Googs desert track!
