What is a DOC

DOC is the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst. It effectively works as a giant glow plug in the exhaust in order to help burn off the remaining fuel that did not fully burn off in the combustion process.

What Does the DOC do?

Ultimately it’s responsible for removing many of the harmful combustion resultants by using heat and catalytic precious metals to solicit a chemical reaction. In doing so, it more completely burns off the exhaust gasses.

I mainly have issues with
my DPF, so why do I care?

Well remember above that we commented that the DOC helps to burn off the fuel more completely? Well soot (Diesel Particulates) are simply particles of fuel that did not fully burn off during the combustion process. Therefore, a fully and properly functioning DOC will actually significantly improve the service life of a DPF!

If you keep experiencing issues with the DPF, the unfortunate reality is that you’ve probably not correctly diagnosed the root cause of the DPF build up, causing it to build up once again.
