With that said, here are a few things you need to know about DPF.

A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is built into your diesel engine to help remove diesel particulate matter or soot from the engine. The soot is stored in a canister containing soot-catching compartments that look like honeycombs, it’s located in the middle of your diesel truck’s exhaust system. 

Once the ‘honeycombs’ get plugged up with soot, the exhaust becomes restricted and then it starts a regen cycle. During this cycle, diesel fuel is used to burn off the soot so it all comes out at once and your exhaust system can breathe again.

Most DPF systems are designed to be quick and easy to service. 

In most cases, the filters are designed to be easy to access. They require simple hand tools and a jack rather like a transmission jack for the low-mounted tea-kettle type DPFs found on Volvo and Mack trucks. Peterbilts and Kenworths have low-mounted cylindrical DPFs, but there are also stack-mounted units. All are heavy enough to require some support as they are serviced.

In most designs, the filter housing is held together with easily removed bands so the filter assembly can be separated and a new filter installed in 30 minutes to an hour. The actual cleaning process on the machine takes around 20 to 45 minutes, and the general recommendation is that cleaning can be accommodated during an oil change.

If you are considering of getting a brand new DPF filter as a perfect solution for Volvo vehicles, then Mack MP7 is definitely the full support tuning you will need. Especially for working mack trucks, this DPF is exactly the horsepower engine you will need.  

With that, here are a few benefits you can get from this DPF filter:
