What Is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?
A DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is a critical part of your vehicle’s exhaust system. It captures and stores soot and ash to reduce emissions, helping your diesel vehicle meet strict EPA emissions standards introduced in 2007.
Without proper maintenance, the DPF can become clogged with particulate matter, leading to:
-
Reduced fuel economy
-
Decreased engine performance
-
Increased exhaust backpressure
-
Illumination of the DPF warning light or Check Engine Light
If you're in the Port Angeles, Washington, Sequim, Washington, Port Townsend, Washington, , or area and notice these symptoms, schedule a DPF cleaning at Auto Depot today to avoid costly repairs down the line!
What Does a DPF Cleaning Service Involve?
At Auto Depot, our DPF cleaning process is designed to thoroughly remove soot, ash, and debris from the diesel particulate filter to restore it to optimal working condition. Here's what you can expect:
-
Inspection and Diagnostic Testing:
We begin by examining the diesel particulate filter for blockage levels, using industry-standard diagnostic tools. -
Professional Cleaning Methods:
Depending on the severity of the buildup, we may perform:-
Hydrodynamic Cleaning: A high-pressure fluid jet is directed at the DPF to dislodge soot and ash.
-
Thermal Cleaning (Heat Treatment): The DPF’s ceramic core is placed in a controlled furnace for 12 hours to burn off carbon deposits.
-
-
Final Inspection:
After cleaning, we perform a second diagnostic check to ensure optimal airflow and DPF performance.
We also check for any potential damage to ensure the DPF will continue to operate efficiently for thousands of miles.
Why Timely DPF Service Matters
Neglecting your DPF can lead to significant, expensive problems such as:
-
Engine overheating
-
Complete engine shutdown
-
Premature turbocharger or EGR system failure
-
Costly full DPF replacements
Regular DPF maintenance is crucial for diesel vehicles, especially those used for commercial driving, heavy-duty hauling, or daily commuting.
