The excessive regens cause fuel dilution in the oil which causes all kinds of other problems with the hydraulic lifters. Folks that use them as intended towing all the time have very good luck with the emission junk. What a nightmare.

Whether gas or diesel, my understanding is short drives (i.e. anything less than 15 miles and getting the engine to operating temps) are bad and can cause cylinder washdown.
