Product Information
Full details
This MOTUL Diesel Emission Reduction Kit is designed for diesel vehicle owners looking to improve engine performance, reduce emissions, and prolong the life of their fuel system components, particularly beneficial before technical inspections. It combines two powerful cleaners: MOTUL DPF CLEANER DIESEL to maintain the Diesel Particulate Filter and MOTUL INJECTOR CLEANER DIESEL to clean the entire fuel system. While highly effective, users should follow the specific dosage instructions to avoid over-application.

FAQs
Can I use this kit on a gasoline engine?
No, this kit is specifically formulated for diesel engines only. Using it on a gasoline engine can cause damage.
How often should I use the DPF Cleaner preventively?
For preventive maintenance, it is recommended to use one can of MOTUL DPF CLEANER DIESEL every 5,000 km.
What is the difference between curative and preventive mode for DPF Cleaner?
Curative mode is for when the DPF warning light is on, using a higher concentration (1 can per 20L). Preventive mode is for regular maintenance to keep the DPF clean (1 can per 40L, or 1 can every 5000 km).
Can I mix the DPF Cleaner and Injector Cleaner together?
While both are for diesel engines, it is best to use them as directed. For example, add the Injector Cleaner before refueling, and the DPF Cleaner can be added at a separate interval or when the fuel level is low as per instructions.
Will this kit fix a clogged DPF completely?
The kit helps clean and regenerate the DPF, promoting better function. However, it may not resolve issues caused by mechanical failure or extremely severe clogging, which might require professional service.
How long does it take to see results after using the Injector Cleaner?
Improvements in engine smoothness and drivability are often noticed shortly after use, typically within the same driving cycle. Significant fuel economy or emission improvements may take a tank or two to fully manifest.
Is this product safe for my SCR system?
Yes, both products are designed to be safe for use in diesel engines equipped with SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) systems.
Troubleshooting
DPF warning light remains on after using DPF Cleaner
Ensure the correct dosage was used and the vehicle was driven for at least 20 minutes at a consistent speed after application. If the light persists, a manual regeneration or mechanical check may be required.
No noticeable improvement in engine performance
Verify that the correct cleaner was used for the specific issue (DPF vs. Injector). For severe fouling, multiple treatments might be necessary. Check for other potential mechanical issues unrelated to fuel system cleanliness.
Engine runs rougher after treatment
This can occasionally happen if the cleaner dislodges a large amount of deposits. Drive the vehicle for a short period to allow the system to clear. If the issue persists, consult a mechanic.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effectively cleans and maintains the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
- Cleans the entire diesel fuel system, including injectors and pumps.
- Helps restore lost engine power and improve acceleration.
- Reduces fuel consumption and harmful exhaust emissions.
- Lubricates fuel system components during cleaning.
- Suitable for a wide range of diesel engines and emission control systems.
Cons
- Requires careful adherence to dosage for optimal results.
- May require multiple treatments for heavily fouled systems.
- Not a substitute for mechanical repair of severely damaged components.
- Requires regular maintenance for sustained benefits.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This kit is designed for all types of diesel engines, including naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants. It is compatible with vehicles equipped with or without Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems.
Setup & Use:
- MOTUL DPF CLEANER DIESEL:
- Curative Mode (DPF warning light ON): Pour 1 can directly into the diesel tank when the fuel level is low, then fill with diesel. Requires approximately 20 liters of diesel fuel per can.
- Preventive Mode: Add 1 can to the fuel tank every 5,000 km. Mix with at least 20 liters of diesel fuel.
- MOTUL INJECTOR CLEANER DIESEL:
- Pour 1 can directly into the diesel tank before refueling. Suitable for tanks up to 50 liters.
- For intense cleaning, two treatments can be performed consecutively.
- For ongoing maintenance, use regularly in conjunction with MOTUL SYSTEM KEEP CLEAN DIESEL.
Care:
- Store the cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Ensure cans are properly sealed when not in use.
- Always follow the recommended dosage to prevent potential issues.
