These percentages are small, however in comparison C3 would potentially have 60% more sulphared ash than a C1, which would not be good for a DPF.

That indeed is very informative
The thing is that the more I read is the more seems like that the C1 protects the dpf and to certain extent the environment more than the engine. And engine failure is not cheap either.

I think you sum it up perfectly, hence my strategy to balance things up is to use C1 oil to protect the DPF but change Oil every 5K miles or less to protect engine.
