Product Information
Full details
The Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter Protector (7180) is designed for diesel vehicle owners, particularly those who frequently drive short distances or in city traffic, to maintain a clean diesel particulate filter (DPF). Its key benefit is reducing soot formation and aiding DPF regeneration, thereby preventing costly repairs and downtime. A caveat is that it is not suitable for vehicles equipped with an electronically controlled additive tank system for filter regeneration, such as some Citroën and Peugeot models.

FAQs
How often should I use the Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter Protector?
The product should be added to your fuel tank every 2,000 km, just before refueling, for continuous protection.
What is the correct dosage for one can?
One can is formulated for a fuel volume of 50 to 70 liters of diesel. Ensure you do not add an excessive amount.
Can I use this product if my car does not have a DPF?
No, this product is specifically designed for diesel vehicles that are equipped with a diesel particulate filter.
My car is a Peugeot. Can I use this product?
This product is not suitable for all Peugeot models. Specifically, it should not be used if your vehicle has an electronically controlled additive tank system for filter regeneration. Check your vehicle's specifications.
What happens if I use this product more frequently than recommended?
Using the product more frequently than every 2,000 km is not necessary and does not provide additional benefits. Always follow the application instructions.
Can I mix this with other fuel additives?
It is recommended not to use this product in combination with other specific additives like 'Diesel Soot Stop!'. For best results, use it as directed without other simultaneous additives unless specified by a professional.
Will this product fix a completely blocked DPF?
This product is a preventative maintenance tool designed to aid regeneration and reduce soot buildup. It may not resolve issues with a DPF that is already severely blocked. In such cases, professional service is required.
Troubleshooting
Diesel Particulate Filter warning light remains on after use.
While the protector aids regeneration, a severely clogged filter may require professional cleaning or manual regeneration. Consult your vehicle's manual or a mechanic.
Product spills during application.
Clean up any spills immediately with an absorbent cloth. Avoid contact with skin and painted surfaces. Dispose of waste materials properly.
Vehicle performance does not improve.
Ensure the product is compatible with your vehicle and applied correctly. Other issues unrelated to the DPF might be affecting performance. Seek professional diagnosis if problems persist.
