FAQs
How often should I use FACOM DPF Cleaner?
It is recommended to use the cleaner as part of your regular oil change maintenance routine to ensure continuous DPF health.
Can this cleaner be used in gasoline engines?
No, this cleaner is specifically formulated for diesel engines with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF).
What is the difference between an oil additive and a fuel additive?
This product is an oil additive, meaning it mixes with the engine oil. Fuel additives mix directly with the diesel fuel.
Will this cleaner completely regenerate my DPF?
This cleaner aids in cleaning and preventing buildup. It is a maintenance product and may not be sufficient for a full regeneration of a heavily clogged DPF.
What is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?
A DPF is a filter designed to capture soot and particulate matter from diesel exhaust emissions.
What are the benefits of cleaning my DPF?
Cleaning your DPF helps maintain optimal engine performance, improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and prevent costly repairs or replacements.
Is it safe to mix with all types of diesel engine oil?
It is designed to be compatible with most standard diesel engine oils. Always refer to your vehicle manufacturer's specifications for oil type.
Troubleshooting
DPF warning light remains on after use
This cleaner is a maintenance aid. If the warning light persists, a manual regeneration or professional inspection may be required to address severe clogging.
No noticeable improvement in performance
Ensure the product was added correctly to the engine oil and that the vehicle's DPF was not excessively clogged prior to application. Multiple applications may be needed for significant buildup.
Product spills during application
Clean up spills immediately with absorbent material. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective gloves during application.
