Because I live far from both NLEX and SLEX, I try to do fast runs on nearby roads that have relatively light traffic. Problem is there is never enough road and too many tourist drivers.

That's the problem with Korean diesels. Even Euro 4 and lower have DPFs. The problem is magnified with the Euro 5 & 6 models that gray market importers are bringing in.
