Dave's estimate of 500F is way too low. The exhaust temperature is not enough, the manufacturers dump raw diesel into the exhaust stream for additional heat, the clean out temperatures are going to be near cylinder combustion chambers give or take.

As to cleaning the DPFs, the HD truck ones are designed to be cleaned around 500,000 km or so.
