How do you clean the DPF on a motorway?

DPF Regeneration What you should do is get in your car, drive to the nearest motorway or long A-road, stick it in a lower gear than you normally would while cruising and maintain 3000+RPM for 10-20 minutes. You may find that this allows your vehicle to go through its regeneration cycle and clears the blockage.

Can I drill holes in my DPF filter?

Not sure, it might hold up. -Drilling holes will cause the rest of the filter to plug up, and never allow it to regenerate. The airflow will go through the drilled holes but there will be soot that gets trapped by the filter. If you don't have enough holes, you'll build excessive backpressure.
