DPF change/maintenance inverval?

j4nne · 09-09-2010, 07:42 AM

my 320d says that service is about to happen in 87000mil and the mileage is now around 73000mil. Is it true to have that long service interval for DPF or is it already changed once?

What about you guys,
what's the mileage and miles to DPF-service in your cars?

I don't have a diesel but all of BMW recommended intervals are usually too long. This started happening after they went to Ultimate Service. For example, diff fluid and gearbox fluid used to be changed and the oil change interval used to be 5000 mi (I think). Now the gearbox and diff are lifetime fill and the oil change interval is 15000 mi. The engine/gear oil formula hasn't changed. Just an FYI.
