How to clear DPF while driving?

On the diesel carsThe particulate filter (also called DPF) limits the emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere of your vehicle. This play is a must, but it can get dirty quickly, so in this article we will explain how to extend its lifespan while driving!

Step 1: Add Supplement

Fill your vehicle's fuel tank with DPF cleaner. This simple and cost effective solution extends the life of your DPF and improves filter regeneration. Indeed, this additive will lower the combustion temperature of the soot particles in order to more easily get rid of them.

Step 2: Raise the engine to the towers

Then you just need to drive ten kilometers at high speed, for example, on a highway. The goal is to accelerate your vehicle to at least 3 rpm in order to raise the temperature of the system and thus burn off all soot particles. Performing this procedure regularly will significantly extend the life of your particulate filter.

Good to know: If your DPF is clogged, you should definitely replace it. Indeed, it is not possible to properly clean a clogged particulate filter. Some people try to clean it with a carcher or household products, but this is strongly discouraged as there is a risk of DPF damage and consequent damage to your engine.

We therefore recommend that you regularly descale the exhaust gas and the exhaust gas recirculation valve.
