Hey all, hoping I can get some tips for my issue. I have a 2010 with 100,000 miles that I only use to pull my 16,000lb fifth wheel here in the mountains of Colorado (i.e. my truck really works). Things were great for the first couple years, but ever since this spring I'm getting regens every 50 miles or so (used to be every ~150 miles).
My truck is all stock, and the only thing I did before this towing season started was an oil change and fuel filter change (I do them at 5000 miles and 10000 miles respectively). This time around I did use a different oil than the MotorCraft I usually use. I think it was Rotella, but could have been some other name-brand.
Anyway, my local diesel shop doesn't see any issues. They say the sensors all read normal, no codes, etc. I'm actually thinking one or more sensors actually ARE bad, even if they're showing in spec on the IDS
I'm also wondering if somehow the oil I used is more "sooty" than the MotorCraft and filling up the filter more quickly. I'm going to change the oil back to MotorCraft and see if it helps.
Bottom line -- any tips on where to start troubleshooting?
