DPF stats after 0-60,000Km on my 2018 GXL Prado:
ECU firmware updated early 2019. Both Custom Modes enabled.
Kerb Mass ex driver approx 2,700Kg.
Accessories include GVM Upgrade, Bull-bar, Winch, Twin Wheel Carrier, Drawer System, UHF, Spot Lights, Dual Battery, Tools etc.
Mileage Breakdown:
a. ~22,000Kms open highway (100-110Kms/hr),.
b. ~4,200Kms tracks, sand dunes, corrugations, mountains etc
c. The rest city driving.
DPF regens at highway speeds (post ECU update):
Ave Kms to complete a regen = 30+Kms
Ave Kms between regen = ~150Kms
Regens often ended at 4% and some at 0%
DPF regens for city driving:
Kms to complete a full regen = less than 20Kms
Kms between regens = 250-350Km
Regens on remote tracks (5-10-20Kms/hr):
Kms to complete a full regen = 2-5Kms
Fuel economy scenarios:
a . City driving = 8.5 Ltrs/100Km
b . Highway driving (Wt ~3,050Kg max) = 12-13 Ltrs/100Km,
c. On Dunlop AT20 265/65 R17 on Factory Alloy Rims = 8.5 Ltrs/100Km, city driving
d. On Toyo AT II, 265/70 R17 Steel Rims = 9.7 Ltrs/100Km, city driving
Notes:
a. trips < 5-8Km won't produce the conditions for the DPF to start a burn. This is how long it takes to warm the system up before a regen will start/resume.
b. 5 DPF burns during 5-10-20Km/hr grinding over sand dunes and remote tracks.
c. 2019 ECU update significantly reduced the Kms between regens at highway speeds, and significantly reduced the time to complete a regen.
d. DPF burn quits at 8% saturation, the residual heat energy carries the burn to 6%, and sometimes 4% or all the way to 0%.
DPF Manual button has Custom Mode enabled. I can manually initiate a burn when the DPF level is over 28% before driving over dry grass. And it works!
