Wynn's 18985 5L Off-Car Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner Removes Soot & Deposits From DPFs

Product Information

To avoid expensive repair bills and to keep your car running smoothly, we recommend regular DPF cleaning. You Work in design Carl???? Every 2000-5000 miles?????? Really? I have a kia ceed and the dpf goes off around every 300 km, I can see exactly when it goes off cause my car gets sluggish and won’t accelerate properly and I can see on my fuel consumption that as soon as it starts regen it takes more gas and if I release the pedal completely it wil always stay at a minimum 0.8L to 100 km whereas if it is not regenerating it will go all the way down to 0.0 and sometimes it takes between 15-20 min to complete and other times I have driven it up to half an hour burning gas, wasting my time and it doesn’t switch off, so I just give up after that. So if you worked in DPF design how come what you are stating has no relation to what I see working in my car???? Reply

I have owned a 2.0 Jtdm Alfa 159 for 3 1/2 years now and have done approx 30k miles with it. After a few months the car went into ‘regen’ with the exhaust rattling and shaking as if it was falling to pieces, then did it again a few weeks later. I then did a bit of forum research and decided to try the Wynns DPF cleaner, after a good run (about 20 miles ) and a higher revs blast there was some dark smoke then some lighter coloured grey smoke blown out and after that I’ve not had another ‘regen’ incident. The issue with any DPF chemical cleaner is that they only remove SOOT at best and NOT ASH. Any cleaning of carbon deposits from within the engine will naturally end up in the DPF. For a DPF service to be effective it needs to remove SOOT & ASH. ReplyTrouble is as a tradesperson I need a largish van & really there is no choice, big petrol vans are very few & far between, so it’s diesel or nothing & if you do a big percentage of local work, with short trips & / or idling, a DPF equipped one is a rotten idea. Reply Costs for this serve seem to vary but in most cases it is much cheaper than a replacement filter and not illegal like DPF removal (more on that below). And like Sam said, “every 2000-5000 miles” ? Lol. I can’t fathom that level of ignorance. You say you worked on DPF design… you sure you weren’t the janitor in there ? Reply It is good to know that particulate filters are often incorrectly replaced. When problems arise and the diesel particulate filter malfunction light comes on, it is generally difficult to find the cause. In this case, the choice is often made to replace the DPF. It may be the case that the particulate filter is broken, replacement is the only option. However, in most situations this is not the case.

Deposits in the fuel system, air intake, EGR valve, injectors, etc. Modern diesel fuel systems are highly engineered, but are susceptible to deposits which may effect the efficiency of combustion. Inefficient combustion = more hydrocarbons, and therefore more soot in the exhaust and filter.If you do get a response then please let us know but personally I don’t think you’ll cause any damage.
