FAQs
What is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?
A DPF is a filter in the exhaust system of diesel vehicles designed to capture soot particles. It periodically burns off this collected soot in a process called regeneration to stay clear.
How often should I use this DPF cleaner?
For best results and preventative maintenance, it is recommended to use the product every 3,000 km.
Can I use this cleaner in my petrol car?
No, this product is exclusively for diesel vehicles equipped with a DPF. It is not suitable for petrol engines or diesel vehicles without a DPF.
What is the recommended dosage?
Add half of the contents (150ml) to a minimum of 30 litres of diesel fuel in the fuel tank.
What should I do if I accidentally put it in a car without a DPF?
If this occurs, do not start the engine. It is best to drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh diesel fuel. Seek professional advice immediately.
How long does it take to see results?
The cleaner begins working as soon as the treated fuel is combusted. Noticeable improvements in performance or a cleared warning light may depend on driving conditions after application and the severity of the initial blockage.
Does Carlube offer other automotive products?
Yes, Carlube offers a diverse range of lubricants, including engine oils, transmission fluids, brake fluids, and other automotive additives for various vehicle types.
Troubleshooting
DPF warning light remains on after use
The blockage may be too severe for a single treatment. Consider a second application or seek professional DPF cleaning services. Consult your vehicle's manual or a mechanic.
No noticeable improvement in performance or fuel efficiency
Ensure the correct dosage was used and that the vehicle was driven normally after application. Check for other potential engine issues that may be affecting performance. Regular use may be needed for cumulative benefits.
Product spilled during transport or storage
Clean up the spill immediately with absorbent material. Avoid contact with skin and ensure the area is well-ventilated. Dispose of contaminated material responsibly.
