A High-Quality DPF Filter Improves Your Vehicle’s Performance
The primary function of a DPF filter is to trap and remove particulate matter, such as soot and ash, that is created during the engine’s combustion process. In tandem with other components of the exhaust system, a well-functioning DPF filter ensures that the exhaust gasses are as clean as they can be and minimises backpressure.
For one, this lowers the impact of your diesel engine on the environment and ensures you comply with emission standards, which is particularly important to Australians as the Federal Government has announced that it will start introducing much more stringent emission standards starting with 2025.
But beyond environmental and legal concerns, a high-quality diesel particulate filter is the key to unlocking engine performance and longevity. Cleaner engine gasses will improve engine efficiency and fuel economy and minimise the wear and tear on your engine’s components, adding to your vehicle’s longevity.
Maintaining Your Engine and DPF Filter Longevity
DPF filters often fail either due to poor-quality diesel or a lack of DPF regeneration activity. After you have installed a replacement diesel particulate filter, it is worthwhile to maintain it properly. While getting better quality diesel may be out of your hands, you can make sure your DPF filter lasts by paying attention to your driving habits.
As you drive your diesel car or truck, the soot generated by engine combustion gets trapped by the diesel particulate filter; the DPF has the in-built function of burning off the accumulated soot and turning it into ash when the exhaust gasses are hot enough - this is called passive DPF regeneration.
However, the gasses may not get hot enough to oxidise the soot and turn it into ash in stop-and-go situations, disabling passive regeneration and, ultimately, clogging up your DPF. After you have replaced your old DPF filter, it is beneficial to think of your driving habits - plan to intersperse short rides with longer ones on the highway to keep your new filter clean and high-functioning for years.
