Best fuels for Mondeos?
I have a Mondeo Mk4 TDCI which has more than 110K miles on the clock.
Although the majority of my driving is on the motorway, I’m conscious that I’m likely to be having DPF problems before long.
Is there any evidence that the use of premium fuels such as BP Ultimate or Shell V-Power reduce the frequency of DPF regeneration (and a consequential extension of DPF life)?

I have not seen any. But your Eolys tank could be close to empty. Having that refilled could make a big difference.
