    I'd be running BP Ultimate diesel but BP havent released it in NSW as yet. Only available in SA, & QLD at the moment ( Lucky SOB's) but yes the Cetane rating of BP ultimate is a minimum of 50, where as most other diesels are between 42 to a top of 46 I believe

    Sorry to nitpick benough but that just aint true. I've seen dpf cars blow smoke, its just less than cars without dpf's. Its visible, you just gotta know when to watch.

    nice for the OP not to have one though

    sorry if this is slightly off topic, but could a DPF regen issue small plumes of thin whitish smoke from the engine bay at idle sometimes?
