Hi All, coming back from vacation, the DPF light came on blinking, normally it goes steady, then asks speed request...this time went straight to blinking so I thought just time for oil change (oil dilution >10% causes blinking directly). After getting on the highway, the MIL and traction control light came on (I guess this is limp home mode). When I got home, I checked the logs, 2 codes are active P1468 Oil Dilution & P1469 DPF Limp Home Mode are active. Soot is between 120-160%, cumulative ash 6%, time since last injector learning 1900km, delta pressure DPF around 15-20kPa. Before this, the car had tried to do several regens, shooting out a lot of dark smoke while driving low speed 1st/2nd gear, especially after stop.
Normally if DPF light comes blinking first, it means oil dilution is >=10%, but after some driving MIL also came up, therefore not sure if oil dilution counter reset is adequate. I do an oil change tomorrow
I know this DPF issue is a common forester issue
Car is 2009 turbo diesel forester, euro 4
Appreciate any input
many thanks
