Regular cleaning is important for maintaining your engine and exhaust system. Initially, DPFs need to be cleaned at 150,000 to 200,000 miles. After that initial cleaning, they should be cleaned ever 100,000 miles. An orange dashboard light should alert you to when your DPF needs cleaning, but if you notice emissions of black soot, increased oil levels or a rise in fuel usage those are also signs it needs cleaning.

With our highest level restoration service, your DPF will go through an extra step — what is known as the ultrasonic step. This takes more time with the ultrasonic step vs. the traditional clean (blast and bake) and it is well worth paying the extra because it restores your filter to like new condition and includes a warranty option. Remember, if we can't clean it, you don't pay!
We believe a thorough DPF inspection involves a visual inspection, flow test, pin test and light test to ensure DPF filter integrity and that the filter has been returned as close as possible to its original factory condition.

Regular engine maintenance is largely the biggest factor in ensuring the best performance from the DPF. Restriction from dirty air filters, worn components etc. are all factors that will increase soot loading of the DPF. Low-ash engine oils are always a recommendation as they lower the residual ash deposit in the DPF through the regen process. There are some newer products on the market today that are known as FBC (Fuel Borne Catalyst) that significantly improve engine combustion and lower soot loading of the DPF.
The DPF service life can be limited several ways, we would recommend a mechanic should look at the coolant, look for oil leaks, failing fuel injectors and even dust in the air intake system.
Yes, see answer above. We believe that regular cleaning and servicing of the DPF filter does extend the overall life of the filter, will reduce the risk of filter failure, and will lower the risk of other engine component failure because of lower overall back pressure.
