FAQs
What is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?
A DPF is a filter in the exhaust system of diesel vehicles designed to trap soot. It requires periodic 'regeneration' to burn off the accumulated soot.
How does Carlube DPF Cleaner work?
It lowers the temperature at which soot particles in the DPF can be burnt off, aiding the DPF's natural regeneration process.
Can I use this product if my car does not have a DPF?
No, this product is specifically for vehicles with a DPF. Using it on a vehicle without a DPF is not recommended and could cause issues.
How often should I use this product?
For best results, it is recommended to use Carlube DPF Cleaner every 3000km.
What is the quantity of cleaner in one bottle?
Each bottle contains 300ml of DPF cleaner.
Do I need to change my driving style after using the cleaner?
No, you should drive as normal after adding the product. Ensure you refuel the vehicle after the initial drive.
What if the DPF warning light is already on?
If the warning light is already illuminated, it's advisable to seek professional advice before or in conjunction with using this product, as the DPF may require immediate attention.
Troubleshooting
DPF warning light remains on after use
If the DPF warning light persists after using the cleaner and driving as directed, it may indicate a more severe blockage or another underlying issue. It is advised to seek professional diagnosis from a qualified mechanic.
Reduced engine performance continues
Ensure the correct amount of product was added to a sufficient quantity of diesel fuel. If performance issues continue, consult a professional mechanic to rule out other mechanical problems.
Uncertainty about DPF presence in vehicle
Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a qualified mechanic to confirm if your vehicle is equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter. Using this product on a non-DPF vehicle can cause damage.
