Full details
The Carlube Double Strength DPF Cleaner (HDP300) is designed for diesel vehicle owners experiencing issues with blocked Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs). Its key benefit is aiding in the regeneration of dirty DPFs by lowering the temperature at which soot burns off, which can improve fuel efficiency and engine performance. A key caveat is that it **must not** be used in vehicles without a DPF, and professional advice is recommended before use.

FAQs
What is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?
A DPF is a filter in the exhaust system of diesel vehicles designed to capture soot particles. It periodically burns off this trapped soot in a process called regeneration.
How does this DPF cleaner work?
It lowers the temperature at which soot particles burn off, which aids the DPF's natural regeneration process, helping to clear blockages.
Can I use this if my car does not have a DPF?
No, this product is strictly for vehicles WITH a DPF. Using it in a vehicle without a DPF is not recommended and may cause damage.
How often should I use Carlube DPF Cleaner?
For best results and to maintain optimal performance, it is recommended to use the product every 3000km.
What is the recommended amount to add?
You should add half of the contents (150ml) to a minimum of 30 litres of diesel fuel in the tank.
Will this product improve my car's MPG?
By helping to keep the DPF clear and functioning correctly, it can contribute to maintaining or improving fuel efficiency.
Where should I store the product?
Store the container in an upright position and ensure it is secured when transported to prevent leaks.
Troubleshooting
DPF warning light remains on after use
The DPF may be severely blocked. A manual regeneration or professional cleaning might be required. Consult your vehicle's manual or a mechanic.
No noticeable improvement in engine performance
Ensure the correct dosage was used and that there are at least 30 litres of fuel in the tank. Performance improvements can be gradual. If issues persist, the blockage may be too severe for this treatment alone.
Accidentally used in a vehicle without a DPF
Discontinue use immediately. Seek professional automotive advice as potential damage may have occurred to the exhaust system.
