Your filter does an exceptional job at trapping the soot and ash from your emission system and preventing it from dirtying the air – but only if you keep it in peak condition. The best way to do so is by using a DPF cleaning service.
The consequences of not cleaning your DPF can easily snowball. If it’s not clean, then your vehicle can break down. That means lost time on the road, leading to fewer profits in your wallet. You’ll also have to hand over money for costly repairs and be out for an indefinite amount of time. A filter can cost more than $7,000, compared to a few hundred dollars for regular cleaning. But if left to accumulate buildup, you can be looking at having to replace your entire engine.
The risks of keeping a dirty filter extend beyond the chance your vehicle could break down. A dirty filter equals lower fuel mileage, meaning it will continue to increase your day-to-day costs. Finding a company to provide DPF cleaning service is crucial to staying on the road. Just like replacing your tires or checking your oil, your filter needs to be maintained. But not all types of cleaning processes use the same techniques and have equal benefits.
Our multistep, environmentally safe process uses ultrasonic cleansing to return your filter to peak shape – and keep it working for you longer. Our service can return 99% of the useful life back to your filter, whereas other companies offering DPF cleaning service can only match the industry standard of 35%. That means you’ll have stronger gas mileage for longer and will lower the risk of ending up in the shop.
There’s no need to roll the dice to see how long your filter can last before you clean it. Not only will that decision cost you each mile on the road, it can be catastrophic if left to gather soot and ash. Regular cleaning will restore your filter to return your vehicle to its peak efficiency. And remember, it is much, much cheaper to clean a filter than to replace an entire engine or spend tens of thousands of dollars on other repairs.

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.
