Product Information
Full details
This Carlube Double Strength DPF Cleaner is designed for diesel vehicle owners experiencing issues with blocked Diesel Particulate Filters. Its key benefit is to clear and regenerate these filters, potentially improving fuel efficiency and engine performance by lowering the temperature required for soot combustion. A crucial caveat is that it must *not* be used in vehicles without a DPF. This product helps prevent soot formation, cleans and regenerates DPFs, and can improve engine compression.

FAQs
What is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?
A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a component in the exhaust system of diesel vehicles designed to capture soot and particulate matter. It needs to periodically 'regenerate' by burning off this collected soot.
How does this DPF cleaner work?
It lowers the temperature at which soot particles burn, making it easier for the vehicle's DPF regeneration process to occur and clear blockages.
Can I use this product if my car doesn't have a DPF?
No, absolutely not. This product is specifically formulated for vehicles with a DPF and should not be used in vehicles without one, as it can cause damage.
How often should I use this DPF cleaner?
For best results and to maintain optimal DPF health, it is recommended to use the cleaner every 3,000 km.
What is the recommended dosage?
Add half of the contents (150ml) to a minimum of 30 litres of diesel fuel in your tank.
Do I need to do anything special after adding the cleaner?
Yes, after adding the cleaner, you should drive the vehicle as normal. Refueling after driving helps ensure the cleaner is fully incorporated.
What if my DPF warning light is already on?
If your DPF warning light is on, using this cleaner may help, but it's advisable to drive the vehicle normally for at least 15 minutes at speeds above 60 km/h to encourage regeneration. If the light persists, consult a professional.
Troubleshooting
DPF warning light remains on after use
A persistent DPF warning light may indicate a severe blockage or another underlying issue. It is recommended to seek professional diagnostic assistance.
No noticeable improvement in performance
Ensure the correct dosage was used and that the vehicle was driven normally after application. For very heavily blocked filters, multiple applications or professional cleaning may be necessary. Always check vehicle compatibility.
Product spilled during use
Clean up any spills immediately with absorbent material. Avoid contact with painted surfaces as the product may cause damage. Dispose of waste material responsibly.
