Wynn's 28263 Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner Fuel Additive DPF Regenerator Treatment For Passenger Car

Product Information

Yes, I do work in the additive industry for Wynn’s, a global additives company established in 1939 – Must be doing something right? Reply If you have a manual car I suggest second gear and a speed of around 50 mph or you can try third gear at around 80 mph. Update – October 2023– We have updated our product recommendations in line with some excellent new products that have been released in the UK market.

FROM PRICES" is the cheapest available current price, for the same type of job from workshops throughout the country. It’s no wonder we are all so confused. My 2013 Transit handbook says nothing of any real use about the DPF or regen process. I wouldn’t surprised if most other vehicle handbooks were the same, i.e. bloody useless! There is no indication on my dash that a regen is taking place & I have never noticed it running any differently that might indicate a regen. It doesn’t smoke so the soot, is going somewhere (DPF) but the exhaust fumes do smell different from my old pre-DPF van.

Only a government could create this level of misery for our engines. Imagine if this were a human produce. You would be given the flu, which inhibits your ability to breathe, and a heart condition, preventing oxygen from reaching your heart and muscles. And then every time you exhale, it’s through a small straw. Try running a marathon like that… That’s what has happened to our automobiles with DPFs. Rinse the filter from both sides with warm water. Ensure that any contaminant flush is drained out from the filter, and continue until the water runs clear through all openings/apertures.

Another contributing factor to DPF problems is poor quality diesel fuel. The more expensive, premium fuels contain additional additives which help reduce the amount of soot build up. Why Should I Use A DPF Cleaner?

In this review, we look at the best DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) cleaners on the market for your diesel vehicle and explain why they are so important. DPF filters are fitted as standard on all modern diesel vehicles and can cause extreme problems if not maintained properly, so therefore it’s really important to understand how they work and how best to avoid problems with some simple preventative maintenance.

SAVE UP TO" is calculated as the saving obtained between the cheapest and most expensive quotes on the same job type where at least 15% have obtained the promoted SAVE UP TO saving within the radius from which the quote is collected. DPF cleaners are suitable for most diesel or biodiesel engines and they may require regular usage to keep the DPF clean. However, if you find that they aren’t as effective as you would expect, go on a “spirited” drive whilst keeping the RPM’s high. You could also drive on the motorway and keep the car in a lower gear whilst travelling at 60 to 70 MPH. This type of driving along with using the cleaner should help to keep it clean as long as there isn’t a fault with the DPF. Correct oil specification when servicing a vehicle is essential for the life and efficiency of the diesel particulate filter. Oils with a low SAPS (sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur) content, commonly known as “Low SAPS”, should be used. Motorists tend to avoid repair due to the expense of cleaning, remapping or replacing the filter, particularly if the car still runs pretty well but there is an engine warning or glow plug light flashing. This will result in a reduced fuel consumption overall and will help to make the DPF last for longer, delaying the need to pay for an expensive new filter. It is a great way to clean your Diesel Particulate Filter without having to remove and dismantle the filter itself and manually clean it by hand. It will increase the efficiency of the regeneration process, burning off more of the soot particles which collect in the filter and taking less time to do it. This is particularly useful for drivers who use their vehicle mainly for short distances within the city and who therefore rarely rely on passive regeneration to clean the DPF on their car.SAVING ON AVERAGE" and "AVERAGE PRICE" are calculated as an overall average of prices and savings obtained on quotes on the same job type within the radius from which quotations are obtained. Btw, no chemical added to your fuel tank can clean a DPF. All these additives are doing is introducing alcohols into your engine which burn at a slightly higher temp than gasoline or diesel would. Alcohols are generally corrosive to your motor, eating a way at seals and many metallic components. Reply If you have an automatic select the auto second gear position and drive the engine around 5,000 rpm. This is done by applying the product through the pressure sensor tube or by removing an oxygen or temperature sensor and applying the product directly to the filter. What is the recommended method for cleaning the particulate filter? Preventive maintenance:

The car was running just fine, although it was drinking a lot of diesel. The only other symptom was a flashing glow plug light. It’s my second Dacia and will be dealer serviced whilst under warranty. Thereafter I’ll self-service it using the correct Renault/Dacia fluids. I’ve no qualms about removing the EGR every 50k or so to clean it, and hope to be able to get towards 100k or so before I need to pull the dpf for an overnight bath in Wynns DPF cleaner and a gentle up-stream power wash, before replacing it. Wynn’s, the US based company, have developed an outstanding reputation over many years. They produce a whole host of engine performance additives and this DPF cleaner scores highly for value for money. Impressively, this DPF cleaner is also suitable for use in biodiesel vehicles all the way up to B30. The key features of Wynn’s DPF cleaner are; If you only ever use your car for short journeys around town and never drive on a motorway, it’s recommended to use a DPF cleaner in every second or third tank of fuel, doing so will signifanctly reduce soot built up in the DPF.Passive regeneration occurs while driving a vehicle when the temperature of the exhaust gases is high enough to burn the soot as it passes through the filter. Active regeneration It is recommended to clean the fuel and oil system every time the vehicle is serviced. This will help reduce particulates and improve engine combustion, restoring lost performance and reducing component problems. The stated prices and savings are based on quotes from workshops registered with Autobutler and their own individual prices. Prices and savings may vary depending on car manufacture, model, year, workshop availability and when and where in the country the task is to be carried out. I have been adding this additive roughly every 1500 to 2000 miles for more than 3 years now and can’t praise the product highly enough and feel that I have proved that it ‘works’. Recommended. Like any other filter, its mechanism requires draining. This is called regeneration, and there are three types: passive, active and forced. Passive regeneration
