The temperatures are just too high at 1000F+ to stop oil and air flow. The Turbo, DPF and entire exhaust system is seeing far more active regeneration cycles and work load then prior to the fix.
I will rarely interrupt an active DPF regen. Practice I have been using since my first common rail VW. But during my highway commute I am fortunate to normally not get caught in the middle of a full regen pulling into the parking lot and I do not drive the car around town on the weekends.
I have always run a scan gauge plumb into the lower center console to monitor EGT/DPF temps.
