How to use Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter DPF Additive and Extend the Life of Your DPF

[@gheorghinacov6008]

My honest thought on it is that it CAN work if used for prevention. The most noticeable things I felt were engine was definitely quieter when accelerating hard and the instantaneous fuel consumption dropped by almost half a litre. This is perhaps due to fuel being burnt in a more efficient manner. The DPF regenerations were as frequent as before, but I’m confident that the DPF burns every single soot particle every single regeneration, as I never had the DPF warning. The DPF kept working perfectly. Don’t expect miracles if your car burns litres of oil per change, the ASH will never burn, in contrast to soot. Worth buying? Definitely!

[@EverydayThings]

Thanks for sharing your detailed experience! It’s great to hear that it made a noticeable difference for you, especially with quieter acceleration and improved fuel consumption. You're right about prevention being key, and while it may not perform miracles, it seems like a solid investment for keeping the DPF working efficiently. Glad to know it’s working well for you!

[@roby1880]

Read description: it's not cleaning anything at all. All it does is that the new soot particles that get retained in the DPF have a lower burning point. The next active regeneration will burn the soot more easily at the standard temperature, and that way the DPF will clean up thoroughly.

[@EverydayThings]

The Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter DPF Additive functions similarly to wood; while it burns, it requires a lighter or a match to ignite. This additive helps lower the burning point of new soot particles in the DPF, aiding in more efficient burning during active regeneration, thus leading to a cleaner DPF over time.

Would this product be useful even for a new car that is just doing city driving? Maybe one long drive per week?

[@EverydayThings]

Yes, this is especially useful for cars that are often driven in the city. It can help maintain your DPF even with frequent short trips and the occasional long drive.

[@nileshbahuguna2181]

Hey ! Will this help if I go for a long hill drive with a weather temperature of 2 degree Celsius. As I doubt that extreme low temperature may not let DPF clean its soot.

[@EverydayThings]

Hey there! Using Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Additive can indeed help in various driving conditions, including cold temperatures. However, extreme low temperatures may affect the efficiency of the DPF regeneration process (Low temperatures are considered temperatures deep below the minus.). It's always a good idea to follow the product's instructions.

[@nileshbahuguna2181]

Thanks for your explanation but I wanted to know how frequently we should use this additive if I am just doing the city driving for start-stop driving styles .

[@EverydayThings]

Liqui Moly recommends using their product every 2,000 kilometers.

[@UserName-mj5dp]

2015 BMW F10 535D, daily 20km x (2 trips) = 10 km@40km/h + 10km@90km/h; bi-weekly 120km+/h x 2 hrs. Do I still need to use this? Another question - I usually leave the engine idling between short stops (3-5mins stop), will this build up particle a lot and should I turn off the engine, but harming the battery?

[@EverydayThings]

Your driving routine seems balanced with some higher-speed trips, which can help keep the DPF clean. However, using the Liqui Moly DPF additive can still be beneficial, especially for ensuring long-term DPF health. As for idling, it’s generally a good idea to minimize it where possible, as prolonged idling can lead to more soot buildup. Turning off the engine during short stops shouldn’t harm the battery too much, especially if it’s in good condition. Thanks for your questions-hope this helps!

[@UserName-mj5dp]

@@EverydayThings Thank you very much for replying. If I use this product as preventive maintenance, do I still need to do bi-weekly long trips? Sometimes I just dont have a chance to do it. Also, it is to lower the ignition temp of the new soot particles, to what number approximately? I'm in Canada and the winter is getting pretty cold here.

[@EverydayThings]

You're welcome! 😊 Yes, this additive is designed for situations where long trips aren’t always possible. It helps by lowering the ignition temperature of the soot particles, making it easier for the DPF to regenerate during shorter trips. While exact numbers can vary, it generally helps the DPF function more effectively even in cold conditions like those in Canada. Using it as preventive maintenance is a great idea to keep your DPF in good shape without needing frequent long drives.

@@EverydayThings My car has an ad-blue tank. Will adding this product be conflicting with the ad-blue?

[@UserName-mj5dp]

@@EverydayThings One more question: I noticed there is another product called Liqui Molly Super Diesel Additive. so can it be mixed with this DPF Protector or in a separate tank? And frequency? Can the Super Diesel Additive replace the DPF Protector?

[@miroslawtomczyk7288]

hello, I used this product in my a6 c7 avant 2.0 tdi and I have never had a problem, now I have an Audi Q5 2.0 tdi with adblue, can I use this product if I have this adblue?

[@EverydayThings]

Yes, you can use the Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Additive in your Audi Q5 2.0 TDI with AdBlue. AdBlue is a separate system designed to reduce emissions, and it doesn't interact with the DPF additive or fuel additives. However, it's always a good practice to read the product manual for specific instructions and recommendations before use.

[@bronxed3666]

Yes you can. I checked with the liqui moly team. Currently im running a combination of liqui moly super diesel additive + dpf protector

[@randompillow1234]

I have dodge ram 2017 how many bottles I need to use??

[@EverydayThings]

If your Dodge Ram has a tank between 50 to 70 liters, one bottle of Liqui Moly DPF additive should be enough. Just make sure to check your fuel tank size and follow the dosage instructions on the bottle for the best results!

[@manupathak3473]

My car tank capacity is 35 liter so what i fill full bottle and half use this product

[@EverydayThings]

For a 35-liter tank, you can use half or a little more than half a bottle of the Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter DPF Additive. Always follow the instructions on the product label to ensure proper usage.

Wat hapens to the EGR ?

[@EverydayThings]

EGR: This system recirculates a portion of the exhaust gases back into the engine intake. This cools the combustion process, reducing the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx). However, it can also contribute to increased soot buildup in the DPF. Liqui Moly DPF Additive: This additive works by lowering the combustion temperature inside the DPF, allowing it to more efficiently burn off accumulated soot particles. This helps to regenerate the DPF and prevent clogging. While using the additive won't directly affect the EGR system, it's important to maintain both systems for optimal performance and emission control.

[@FuckTheGlobal]

@@EverydayThings what do you recommend for the EGR system, are there any additives. My car is a BMW x3 2007 with the M47 diesel engine.

[@awatson9617]

Don't have much confidence in this product..especially when you call it a PDF in the video instead of DPF. However I have the resorses to prove whether it works or not so I will make a video to show every one. I really hope it does but we will all know one way or another?

[@EverydayThings]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's always great to see different perspectives. I look forward to seeing your video and finding out more about your experience with the product. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out!

[@rasoldorian6847]

Did this product help you?

[@EverydayThings]

Yes, in my case, it helped a lot. I even felt like the car was running smoother and more powerfully after I used this additive. However, as I mentioned in the video, if your Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is already severely clogged, this additive might not be effective. In such cases, you may need to clean the DPF filter using specialized cleaning machines. It's essential to use this additive as a preventive measure to extend the life of your DPF.

[@EverydayThings]

@@jone8626 Driving at a higher RPM on the highway for around 10 minutes can indeed help burn up particles in the DPF filter, activating the auto-cleaning process. It's a good practice to clear out accumulated particles and maintain the efficiency of the filter. Thanks for sharing this additional tip!

2:05 PDF lol you mean DPF

[@EverydayThings]

Yes, you’re right-it was a mistake! 😅 Too late to fix it now, though. We're all human, and sometimes we slip up! Thanks for catching that-next time, I’ll double-check my PDFs...I mean DPFs! 😂

[@sstreetguy]

It’s unsuless! I’ve tried on my golf 6 2.0 tdi and nothing is changed…don’t waste your money at all!

[@EverydayThings]

It's important to note that the effectiveness of additives can vary, and in some cases, mechanical cleaning might be necessary for severely clogged filters. If you're facing persistent issues, it's advisable to consult with a professional mechanic to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

[@roby1880]

This is a preventive treatment. When the DPF is choking maybe too late. It's like aquiring a flu shot before the flu season.

[@roby1880]

@@EverydayThings when my car was new, the interval between regenerations was aprox 350-400km. After 100.000km I saw that interval geting smaller, and I learned that the usual life span of a DPF is between 175000~ 250000km. So I started taking action to ensure a maximum lifespan by adding DPF cleaners in advance. Sometimes I use Liqui Moly othertimes STP DPF cleaner, depending on price and availability. When NOT using cleaner, the regeneration restarts 2-3-4times when stationary. Using cleaner the regen is ready after the first cycle, but I started driving the car at 2250rpm 4th gear extraurban instead of leting it idle stationary during active regen.

[@201aleks21]

It should go 1 bottle on 20L not full tank omg...

[@EverydayThings]

While I appreciate your perspective, the manufacturer recommends using one bottle for 50 to 70 liters of diesel. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of the DPF.

[@FuckTheGlobal]

lol. it says on the bottle. 50 to 70L ^^

[@201aleks21]

​@@EverydayThingsalso use external tank and mix aditive with diesel amd fill up tank

[@EverydayThings]

@@201aleks21 It also is a good tip to use an external tank and mix the additive with diesel before filling up. However, when you're at the gas station, add the additive first and then fill up with diesel. This way, it will mix thoroughly.

NEVER BUY this product I SWEAR it won't work!! I bought this from Supercheap Australia, Never waste your with these additives

[@EverydayThings]

If your DPF light is on or you already have a problem with the DPF filter, then unfortunately this product won't help much. It's meant to prevent problems by keeping the DPF clean, not to fix existing issues.
