Hi guys well aim going to post this thread again about the Navara D40 Auto with DPF 's ... I have been doing quite a bit looking around about this topic and have been reading some very interesting articles in regards to this, I am looking At removing mine as what the long term problems that it can cause firstly I have questions I have asked Nissan with still no replies as yet ..
1 Why were they only ever fitted to an auto and the manual didn't have it ? It is still a diesel ..
2 Without the DPF the engine can use a good quality engine oil ... Such as Penrite etc which I personally know is better for the engine in general.
3 I have read some very interesting articles in the states (USA) and what they have found in the long term what damage they can cause for example
As we all know the excessive fuel usage ... And interesting enough some diesel can find it's way into the sump, now funnier enough I have experienced this with mine when I bought mine it was coming due for a oil change, the oil was say the least not very good it stained everything even my skin etc as if it diesel in it ... Once changing the oil (low ash of course) it has been fine since none of this staining as it was, and not to mention it can have an effect on the turbo apparently.
4 When I mention replacing here once before I had some people say it's illegal to do so as far emissions are concerned ... Well yes to a certain degree .... But if it was good for "Emissions" etc why has Nissan stopped using it in the autos ... So how can it make it illegal I'm wondering
5 Old school thinking of diesel engines .... One of the worst things a diesel hates is restriction.... Which a DPF does .. It restricts flow that's why when removed it gains performance and economy ie: "No restrictions... And even flow so to speak"
Lastly I'd like to here from anyone that has removed the DPF as well blanking the ERG and the results they have achieved by doing so anyway enough from me be interesting to hear your thoughts
Cheers Kev
