Almost perfect! Can be capped at both the filler and the spout to keep bugs and dust out during storage.

Re regens I think mine does at around 350km intervals, used mainly at 100km/h.
Engine uses hardly any oil between changes, no need for top-ups.
Using Nulon C3 changed at 15000km.
Done about 170000km each on two cars
Av fuel 6.2-6.4. Some fuels not so good- 6.7.
No mechanical failures except turbo vacuum solenoid on both cars. $100 each.
I ended up buying the Nulon 10L C3 and used a cheap 1L container to transfer the oil, bit cheaper. Just happy now that i have a dedicated Diesel oil in the engine and to know that many are using this oil without issues.

Thank you to everyone for supplying lots of knowledge in this area.
