Fuel in Oil

The old standard leaking injector(s) is always a good candidate for this problem, anyway.

That would seem like a candidate for fuel dilution, and absolutely the wrong thing to do - just load up the DPF even faster. I believe the way this "supposed" to work is, they inject a very small bit of fuel on the exhaust stroke, so it burns in the DPF. I still don't see how you blame regen for fuel dilution, unless the amount is out of adjustment way too high for some reason so it is washing down the cylinder walls. That would be very bad for the oil and the rings.

I can only imagine how nasty a 200k mile EGR looks...

I recently pulled up a video, don't recall address, on dpf filter. Went to the old timer in diesel engine building, guess the dpf sensor goes off, dumps fuel into the dpf, burns it off at around 1400 degrees, then dumps the waste into your crankcase. Some engineer was thinking there, huh? He suggests if you don't do the deletes change your oil as as possible after you get the regen message! and most drivers will have to replace the filter between 40 and 80k miles at a $2500 dealer cost!!! The savings in fuel and that savings alone paid for my tuner, parts, deletes, new shocks, springs, and other upgrades. I used to think aircraft engineers where nutcups but apparently the company I used to work for didn't hire all the lame brain engineers, Dodge picked up a couple as well.

New Rumor/Myth: Dodge Owns Cummins!!
Just FYI, the engine to include emission control systems is not a Dodge thing - it's a "Cummins" thing. And an "EPA" thing.
