Motor Oil Info

Active Regeneration use raw diesel fuel as a combustion source to burn the accumulated soot and clear the filter. Active regeneration is accomplished using either in-stream or in-cylinder injection. In-stream injection systems inject raw diesel fuel directly into the exhaust stream before it reaches the diesel particulate filter (DPF).

In-cylinder injection systems inject raw diesel fuel directly into the cylinder on the exhaust stroke. The unburned fuel evaporates and travels down to the diesel particulate filter to burn out the soot built up in the filter. Fuel in the oil reduces the oil’s life expectancy and effectiveness. Because diesel fuel is a natural solvent, fuel dilution in motor oil causes a decrease in viscosity which may lead to an increase in engine wear rates. AMSOIL synthetic diesel oil will help diesel engines last longer.
