Owner Review: Here Is My 2020 Ford Super Duty Diesel Regen Schedule – It Lasts for Miles!

awesome video and article i have found that with one tank of diesel you will do a regen so 500 to 600 miles guess i am about avg so i am happy with that ... and i avg 18 mpg during a regen on the highway and 21 when not regen mode and i have the % on my dash so i look at it all the time

Aside from Forscan, is there a way to determine if it’s in regen mode? I understand you can see the mileage drop, but around town that can be tough to directly notice. There’s also the “smell” but not always obvious unless a window is down or you’re outside. For example, yesterday I drove around for some errands, then dropped some trash off on the way back next to my place. When I got out to drop the trash off, I could def smell the Regen so I left and drove around for a bit til it ended. Would’ve been nice to know before I got home so I didn’t have to turn around and leave again and could’ve stayed on the highway.

I'm pretty sure the Canadian models have a button that forces regen.

We do not have a magic button. I can tell by watching a couple of parameters with my OBD reader. My EGT2 sensor maxes out at 1100 degrees. I wondered what he smell was the first time it happened.

Interesting they are so different....

It seems from that article that his regens were odometer driven. WTF? How is that science?

According to my DPF% mine regents about every 900 miles. I check the filter % nearly every day out of curiosity. The first time I noticed the mpg drop and the smell of hot metal (like my wife’s curling iron). That was at 945 miles. The next time was at 1875. I was watching the filter % climb to 100 and decrease all the way down to 0. It took about 15 miles of country road stop and go. At 2300 now, I’m at 45%.

Seems odd that the guy in the article was going EXACTLY 497 miles between regens EVERY TIME and here you are at 900!
Was he using bunker oil instead of quality diesel?

Mine is about 500 to 600 miles and I use shell diesel but I drive alot of highway ... Also remote start and let it warm up every morning that I drive the truck

Last week was cold for Louisiana, so I remote started. I did notice when I remote start for about 15 minutes I’ll see a 10-15% increase in the filter %. I know there’s a factor for idling in the regen interval, but haven’t made sense of it yet.

I don’t have a fancy reader installed yet, so it’s possible I missed some. The ones I caught it went all the way down to 0%. If I missed it, it would have almost had to start before filter % was to 100 or not gone completely down to 0.

I don’t watch it the whole time, but I usually check it at the beginning of a trip, end of a trip, or both. And if I’m not actively looking at something, I have the avg mpg screen up, which is usually a good indicator.
