I was way off on the temperature requirement. It's over 500 deg Celsius. DPF manufaturer Johnson Mathhey quotes 600 C (1,100 F) here:
Johnson Matthey Catalysts - Emission Control Technologies - Active DPF Regeneration

But even if it was, 500 F, there's a big difference between slowly heating a confined oven up to 500 F and heating a stream of exhaust gas to 500 F.
