Product Information
Full details
This DPF Additive Fluid from D2P is designed for owners of compatible Peugeot, Citroen, and Vauxhall diesel vehicles looking to maintain their Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system. Its key benefit is ensuring efficient DPF regeneration, preventing costly breakdowns and emissions issues. A potential caveat is the need for specific refill procedures to avoid system damage. This fluid is a direct replacement for EOLYS fluid and is compatible with a wide range of models including the Citroen Berlingo, C4, C5, and Peugeot 208, 308, 407, among others, specifically noting compatibility with the Citroen Berlingo 1.6 BlueHDi 100 (2014-2024).

FAQs
What is DPF additive fluid used for?
DPF additive fluid, like this EOLYS fluid, is used to lower the combustion temperature of soot particles in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), enabling more efficient regeneration (burning off of soot) and preventing filter blockage.
How often does the DPF additive need refilling?
The frequency depends on driving conditions and vehicle usage. Typically, a refill is required every 30,000 to 70,000 miles, or when the vehicle's warning light indicates a low additive level. Consult your vehicle's manual for specific intervals.
Can I use this fluid in any diesel car?
No, this DPF additive fluid is specifically designed for certain Peugeot, Citroen, and Vauxhall models that use the EOLYS system. Always confirm compatibility with your vehicle's make, model, and year before purchasing.
What happens if I don't refill the DPF additive?
If the additive runs out, the DPF will be unable to regenerate effectively, leading to soot buildup. This can result in a blocked DPF, reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and potentially expensive repairs or replacement of the DPF.
Is refilling the DPF additive a DIY job?
While refilling the fluid itself is possible, it often requires specialized tools to reset the vehicle's computer (ECU) to recognize the new fluid level. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a qualified mechanic or auto service center.
What is the difference between EOLYS fluid and other DPF additives?
EOLYS is a specific type of fluid used by certain manufacturers (like PSA group vehicles). This D2P fluid is formulated to be a direct replacement for EOLYS, ensuring the correct chemical composition for effective regeneration in compatible vehicles.
Troubleshooting
DPF warning light remains on after refill
Ensure the additive level counter in the ECU has been correctly reset using a compatible diagnostic tool. Verify the correct type and amount of fluid was used.
Vehicle enters limp mode or shows reduced power
This could indicate a severely blocked DPF. Check that the additive fluid system is functioning correctly and that the DPF has been regenerated (manually if necessary) or cleaned.
Fluid spill during refill
Clean up any spills immediately with absorbent material. Avoid letting the fluid come into contact with painted surfaces, as it can cause damage. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Incorrect fluid purchased
Double-check your vehicle's exact make, model, year, and engine specification against the product's compatibility list. If incorrect, do not use and arrange for a return or exchange.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before purchasing, verify that your vehicle is listed among the compatible models (Peugeot 2008, 206, 208, 3008, 301, 307, 308, 406, 407, 5008, Citroen Berlingo, C3, C4, C5, C6, C8, DS3, DS5, Jumper, Jumpy, and Vauxhall Combo E, Vivaro C, Zafira). Pay close attention to the specific engine and manufacturing year, such as the Citroen Berlingo Diesel Chassis Cab 1.6 BlueHDi 100 (2014-2024).
Refill Procedure: The additive fluid must be refilled into the vehicle's dedicated additive tank. This process typically requires specific tools or diagnostic equipment to reset the additive level counter in the vehicle's Engine Control Unit (ECU) after refilling. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a qualified mechanic for the correct procedure to prevent damage to the DPF system or incorrect readings.
Storage: Store the fluid in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Keep out of reach of children.
Care: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Dispose of used fluid and containers according to local environmental regulations.
