ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a system for providing assistance in regenerating depollution means included in an exhaust system of a motor vehicle engine, the system comprising means for controlling the operation of the engine in order to switch the engine between operation in a standard lean mode and operation in a nominal rich mode for regeneration by using post-injection of fuel into the cylinders of the engine and by modifying at least one engine operation control parameter. The system comprises determination means for determining the fuel dilution level of the engine lubricating oil, monitoring means for monitoring the increase in said dilution level during operation of the engine in nominal rich mode so that when said level reaches a high, first threshold, the operation of the engine is switched to a degraded rich mode in which the fuel dilution of the oil is reduced, or the increase in dilution is slowed down, by modifying at least one operating control parameter of the engine, and monitor means for monitoring said reduction so that when the dilution level reaches a low, second threshold, the operation of the engine is switched back into nominal rich mode.
