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!

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!

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 Жыл бұрын
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.

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.
@EverydayThings10 ай бұрын
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.

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?
@EverydayThings3 ай бұрын
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!

@@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.
@EverydayThings3 ай бұрын
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.

Wat hapens to the EGR ?
@EverydayThings10 ай бұрын
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.

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 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.
