Product Information
Full details
The Carlube Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner (DPF Cleaner) is designed for diesel vehicle owners experiencing issues with blocked or dirty Diesel Particulate Filters. Its key benefit is to clear and regenerate these filters, preventing soot formation and improving engine performance. A crucial caveat is that this product *must not* be used in vehicles *without* a DPF. The cleaner works by lowering the temperature at which soot particles burn off, aiding DPF regeneration and potentially increasing fuel efficiency.

FAQs
Who should use the Carlube DPF Cleaner?
This cleaner is intended for owners of diesel vehicles that are equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
Can I use this product in my petrol car?
No, this product is specifically formulated for diesel engines with DPF systems and is not suitable for petrol engines or diesel engines without a DPF.
How often should I use this DPF cleaner?
For best results and ongoing maintenance, it is recommended to use the cleaner every 3000km.

What should I do after adding the cleaner?
After adding the cleaner, drive the vehicle as normal. Refueling after use is also recommended.
Will this product fix a completely blocked DPF?
While it helps clear and regenerate dirty DPFs, a severely blocked or completely clogged filter may require professional attention or manual cleaning in addition to or instead of using this product.
What are the benefits of using a DPF cleaner?
Benefits include cleaning and regenerating the DPF, preventing soot formation, potentially improving engine compression and performance, and aiding in fuel efficiency.
Troubleshooting
DPF warning light remains on after use
Ensure the correct amount was added to sufficient fuel. Drive for an extended period at consistent speeds (e.g., motorway driving) to encourage regeneration. If the light persists, the DPF may be severely blocked and require professional inspection or cleaning.
Vehicle performance has not improved
Verify that the product was added correctly and that the vehicle is indeed equipped with a DPF. Ensure the DPF is not completely blocked, which might necessitate manual cleaning. Consistent application every 3000km is recommended for sustained benefits.
Product added to a vehicle without a DPF
This product should not be used in vehicles without a DPF. If accidentally added, do not use the vehicle and consult a professional mechanic immediately. Damage may occur to the exhaust system.
