Oil dilution problems on Focus 2017 Mk 3.5 1.5 litre durotorq 120 bhp engine

A friend of mine has this problem on his car.

He thinks it is a common problem on his model.

He thinks that it is related to the car's automatic procedure for cleaning the particulate filter!

But I am rather sceptical about this as there seems to be little information available on the internet.

Does anyone here have any strong views on this problem ?

If indeed this engine does use excess diesel to regenerate the DPF then it is a particularly bad thing, and has caused the demise of many a good motor....Mitsubishi and Mazda in my experience!
Diesel is an excellent solvent but a hopeless lubricant.
I'd be contacting Ford concerning this one, just to see if it uses this system.
