Default Flashing DPF light after 3 hours motorway driving??

Hi. I have a Mazda 6 estate (2011). We were traveling to our holiday in France today when, after 3 hours of motorway driving, the dpf light started flashing. We reluctantly carried on for the last hour of our journey but it's still flashing. It had an oil change about 3 months ago. Don't know what to do now. Don't speak French but starting to panic about a breakdown on the 4 hour journey back to catch the ferry next week. Any help really appreciated.

Made it home and it's been fine for the last 2 weeks. Taking it to the garage this week but I'm not too concerned now.
Some research suggests it may be linked to wrong oil being put in during recent service. Sounds odd but who knows?
