Product Information
Full details
The Ecomotive Cleandrive DPF Regen is a professional-grade diesel additive for owners of cars, trucks, buses, and boats experiencing DPF or EGR issues. Its key benefit is cleaning these critical components without requiring vehicle disassembly, restoring lost engine power and preventing costly blockages. A potential caveat is that it's designed as a preventative or early-stage treatment and may not resolve severely clogged systems.

FAQs
How often should I use Ecomotive Cleandrive?
It is recommended to use Ecomotive Cleandrive every 3-6 months or as a preventative measure before potential DPF issues arise, especially for vehicles used in demanding conditions or frequent short journeys.
Can I use this product if my DPF has been recently replaced or cleaned?
Yes, using Cleandrive as part of your regular maintenance can help prolong the life of a new or cleaned DPF by preventing the buildup of soot and carbon deposits.
What is the difference between DPF cleaning and forced regeneration?
DPF cleaning, like with Cleandrive, aims to reduce soot buildup chemically without disassembly. Forced regeneration is a process initiated by the vehicle's ECU (or manually by a mechanic) to burn off accumulated soot at higher temperatures. Cleandrive can help make passive and active regenerations more effective.
Does this product affect AdBlue systems?
Yes, the product helps to reduce AdBlue contamination, which can be caused by impurities in the exhaust stream. This contributes to the overall efficiency of the after-treatment system.
How do I know if my DPF is blocked?
Common signs include a DPF warning light on your dashboard, reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, and potentially a smoky exhaust.
Is it safe to mix with different types of diesel fuel?
Ecomotive Cleandrive is formulated for use with standard diesel and premium diesel fuels. It is not intended for use with alternative fuels like biodiesel blends exceeding standard limits or vegetable oils.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored correctly in its original sealed container, Ecomotive Cleandrive typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years.
Troubleshooting
DPF warning light remains illuminated after use
This product is designed for preventative maintenance or early-stage cleaning. If the DPF is severely blocked, a manual regeneration or professional cleaning may be required. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a qualified mechanic.
No noticeable improvement in engine performance
Ensure the product was added to a fuel tank with approximately ¼ fuel. Driving conditions after application can also affect results; try to maintain consistent speeds for at least 30 minutes. If the issue persists, other mechanical problems may be present.
Product spilled during application
Wipe up spills immediately with an absorbent cloth. Avoid contact with skin and eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. Dispose of contaminated materials according to local regulations.
