DO's:

  • Regularly inspect the DPF for signs of damage or blockages
  • Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule for diesel particulate filter cleaning and replacement
  • Use high-quality diesel fuel and lubricating oil to minimize deposits in the DPF
  • Minimize idling and extended low-speed operation, as this can contribute to soot buildup in the filter
  • Drive at highway speeds for at least 20 minutes every 300 miles to burn off accumulated soot in the DPF and to prevent excessive regenerations
  • Have your DPF cleaned by a reputable service provider

DON'Ts:

  • Don't remove or tamper with the DPF, as this can cause damage to the system and negatively impact performance
  • Don't ignore warning lights or other indicators that the DPF needs cleaning or replacement
  • Don't continue to drive if the DPF is clogged, as this can cause damage to the engine and emissions system
  • Don't use low-quality diesel fuel or lubricating oil, as this can lead to increased soot and ash buildup and lead to reduced efficiency of the DPF.
  • Don't believe people who tell you that you can clean your device with a pressure washer and/or other liquid chemicals, as this will cause damage and lead to premature device failure

    If you have any questions about maintaining your DPF please feel free to call (877) 367-9937
