Hmm ok maybe that's not too often then.

If this is the case could it cause oil dilution. Because that would be bad

It does, common issue across vehicles with DPF and it's typically tracked & managed by the ECU. For example the dilution amount is one parameter that's reset after oil change at service, common issue for a DYI. Here's an explanation for Subaru as I also happen to have one but it is similar: https://subdiesel.wordpress.com/2011/08 ... ion-graph/
