Hi Gerard, Great video and very helpful. I really liked the way you brought us along as you figured it out on the fly. I had a similar issue with a 15 Outlander where the oil level went high - caused by an air leak on the intercooler hose which blocked up the DPF
I have a 2010 outlander with DPF issues. Will try this - thanks. One question about the oil level. My understanding is that DPF auto regeneration adds diesel into the engine oil as part of the process - which is why the oil level gets too high. This obviously thins out the engine oil considerably. Wouldn't it be a good idea to do a quick oil change as the engine oil is now too thin to be effective. Thanks again
Mate, you're actually a fucken legend. I was running in circles trying to find the route cause. My otofix im1 has the autel operating system so your video was perfect. I followed your step by step procedure and removed the dpf light. Cheers 🍻
Thanks mate, after messing around clearing codes and generally having no idea how to clear the damn dpf error. Your video worked perfectly - hidden away under the Initialization menu
My car went into have this problem sorted on 11th August 2023, 5 weeks later i have had the same problem and my car has been on long drives etc. Should this have happened again.? I am now going to get rid of my Outlander as this fault has happened about 6 times over last 2 years
hey mate, im after some help. i have the 2019 MR Mitsubishi triton. i had the same issue as shown in this video. it went into Mitsubishi for diagnosis and all they did was replaced the engine oil and filter and cleared fault codes. they told me to drive it for another 2000km and monitor engine oil level and fault codes coming up. So far i have had no codes after 600km but the engine oil level is now between the full mark and X mark on the dip stick so basically heading back to where it was and now naturally i dont want to drive it anymore untill it goes back in. I have seen after countless time on the internet a common cause of engine oil level increasing is because of a boost leak (normally split in intercooler hosing). If this is not the root cause of the oil level increasing .... what else could possibly be causing this issue? Only reason i ask is because my dealer is next level bloody hopeless and appears to just do the basics and not actually find the issue for me even though its under a 10yr warranty in new Zealand. look forward to replies here as i really need some help!
I'm interested how you got on with this I have a 19 triton keeps going back to mitsubishi I normally only get 3500 to 5000 kd after a service before my dpf light comes on
Assuming it is a diesel, you are getting diesel in your oil, and for a 4Nxx this could be a leaking injector or maybe the HP fuel pump seal leaking into the rocker cover. More likely a leaking injector from my experience lately. Certainly engine damage will follow if you keep driving it without sorting the problem. If the injector(s) are the issue it could also damage the DPF. How many K's does it have on it?
Cheers Pat 😁 I am currently back in the sunny 🍀🌞🍀 Irish isle, feels like I am still in Oz 😁😂 We must meet up while I am back on this soil, flick me an email (in the description) with details if you are around and fancy a catch up 👌👍
This has nothing to do with DPF pressure or soot accumulation, the DPF regen process is deactivated due to oil level reading, while monitoring the live data the DPF was perfect with no pressure / soot issues. The oil and filter had recently been replaced and the oil level was left too high and it stored in the system.
Bullshit Mitsubishi reset my dpf several times and after few weeks comes again. Dpf is bloked if you dont drive regularly on highway. They just extend live of dpf until warranty will ends.
I can't be 100% sure on the capabilities of every cheap scan tool, but it is unlikely a cheap scan tool will be able to solve this issue unfortunately.
Terrible. All you did was address the symptom, not the root cause. You didnt even ask “why was the oil level too high? Answer more than likely was that the oil was diluted by fuel due to a over fuelling situation caused by ….. typically something like a split intercooler hose. . So now you probably have still got oil diluted by diesel fuel that is nit lubricating te engine properly. And guess what? That code will soon be back because the problem has nit been fixed.
There is no oil problem, a technician overfilled the level at the service and caused the warning to come on. I solved the issue. The DPF has no soot build up/accumulation of concern and the only issue here is what is seen in the video. Vehicle has been driving since and no faults 👌👌 Better to not make assumptions when you can ask for verification on your thought process 💭👌
You needed to do a small quantity relearn ever service to stop the oil problem your having You did nothing but clear codes !!! You didn’t fix the cause!!!

I followed your guide and it cleared the P252F code on the Mitsubishi Triton, thank you!

This helped me out heaps mate, had no idea where to go with the scan tool, cheers
👌👌 nice one 🙌

This really helped me, I'm from Israel
I put new sensors in and dpf has been cleaned has to be reset dpf warning in dash this process ok for that?2018 MQ triton

Thanks mate, it relieved stress for me. Cheers
So need to drain the oil, as it has diesel mixture in it?
hello. I have a similar problem with dpf. Can you write what software you use to remove errors. Regards
Autel Ultra was the scan tool used in this video
Thank you very much had the same problem I did exactly what u did and fixed mine 🎉
💪💪👌👌

Which obd scanner did you use ?

just had the light come on in my new car and you might want to search Auto Expert John Cadogans m y DPF light has come on
I have same problem. It will be my last mitsubishi as I don't trust service guys
Same issue with my vehicle. Constant engine oil dilution, fault code every 5000kms, yet I'm told nothing is wrong with the vehicle...

How’s it goin mate? I’ve got a 2019 Mr triton with 40,000km
I'm interested how you got on with this I have a 19 triton keeps going back to mitsubishi I normally only get 3500 to 5000 kd after a service before my dpf light comes on

Your a life saver
Thanks
Hiya is that the mk808 scan tool? This vid has been a god send!
It's the Autel Ultra, but many other scan tool ranges will do this.
Hi would a Foxwell NT650 Elite do this?
You must clear dpf, replace oil and filter, start regeneration in drive,set data to zero. Egr cleaned also.
This has nothing to do with DPF pressure or soot accumulation, the DPF regen process is deactivated due to oil level reading, while monitoring the live data the DPF was perfect with no pressure / soot issues.
The oil and filter had recently been replaced and the oil level was left too high and it stored in the system.
Excellent job. Thank you.
Bullshit Mitsubishi reset my dpf several times and after few weeks comes again. Dpf is bloked if you dont drive regularly on highway. They just extend live of dpf until warranty will ends.
Can you clear this issue with a normal code reader?
I can't be 100% sure on the capabilities of every cheap scan tool, but it is unlikely a cheap scan tool will be able to solve this issue unfortunately.
Thank you for your response we have gotten a can of dpf cleaner and put into the filter and try that way, cheers
Cheers handy to know
Thanks John
Mines only don 24k and just came on
How can the oil level increase...nonsense fault
Check your intercooler hoses for splits
What do l do
But you didn't to a regenerate and change your oil
It's happened to me,lm driving a Holden captiva 2012
