What Do I Need To Do To Clean The DPF?
Under normal operating conditions, you don’t need to do anything. However, if you do a lot of in-city driving at lower speeds or extended idling, your engine may not be working hard enough for the self-cleaning process to take place.
If such a scenario happens, particulate matter will accumulate within the filter. If it reaches an 80% level, you will see an alert in the information center of your truck’s overhead console. This is not dangerous, but it does tell you that the engine needs to be given a little more “exercise” which will correct the situation.
If you are still looking for a DPF filter near me or near your area, then you can still do a little self-cleaning while waiting for your service.
