## Overview

LIQUI MOLY Diesel Particulate Filter Protector is a 250ml diesel additive designed to reduce soot buildup and extend the life of diesel particulate filters. Ideal for diesel vehicles without electronic additive tanks, it improves combustion efficiency, lowers emissions, and significantly increases DPF regeneration intervals by up to 241 miles, especially benefiting city drivers and short-trip users. Easy to use by adding before refueling every 2,000 km, it helps avoid costly repairs and keeps your diesel engine performing optimally.

## Description

Diesel particle filter protector is a highly effective additive that reduces the build-up of particulates and thus increases the service life of the diesel particle filter. Vehicles used for city driving and those that drive short distances are especially affected by blocked diesel particle filters. When used regularly, the diesel particle filter remains clean and expensive repair and servicing times are avoided. Diesel particle filter protector ensures optimal fuel combustion and reduces the build-up of particulates. This also helps in reducing emissions.

Review: GREAT FOR DPF CLEANING! - 5-STARS This is a review on Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter Protector. I am giving this product a 5-star review. This product decreased regen frequency (good) from previous additive and decreased frequency (good) from baseline, which suggests that it may have cleaned the DPF to some degree or enhances combustion action to burn cleaner. This product has worked the best so far out of all the additives that I have tested. My vehicle has driven farther between regens with this product. This product increased miles between regen intervals than previous additive (Liqui Moly Pro-Line Diesel Cleaner), and increased mileage form baseline figure. As far as mileage goes, vehicle lost mpg by 0.7mpg on uphill route, but gained 2mpg on downhill route. Most of the time, power seemed to increase with less throttle input, but one day the engine seemed a little sluggish. Engine seemed to run about the same as baseline. I did not get any engine error codes while using this product. Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter Protector seems to work very well at cleaning the DPF filter, or at the very least, burns very clean with less soot buildup. I got the longest mileage between regens with this product over all the others. Only exception was Archoil AR6500, but only while towing a heavy load during hot weather, which produced higher EGTs. No check engine lights came on. Vehicle showed no adverse affects from additive. Regen mileage interval with NO additives was 384 miles after receiving vehicle from repair shop and working properly. I used two, 250mL bottles mixed with 34 gallons of fuel. Mileage between regens increased from 384 miles (baseline) to 625 miles (+241 miles increase)(good). The product that I used previously was Liqui Moly Pro-Line Diesel Cleaner. Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter Protector increased interval miles from previous additive(good), 444 miles, to 625 miles (+181 miles)(good) This product is my #1 pick so far as a DPF cleaner. There is no removing any components. Just pour in the tank and drive. Price would add up up as an everyday solution, so not the best choice for everyday use. For everyday use, I would pick Archoil AR6500 at the standard/lower dose for an economical and everyday use. My choices may change as I test more products. When using any DPF cleaner additive, I would try to incorporate a regen cycle during use and go on longer drives on highway or freeway to increase the EGTs to burn off the soot. Driving Notes: 30 miles driven during regeneration cycles Soot down to 3 grams EGTs = 556F temperature, normal highway driving EGTs = 703F temperature during regeneration cycle Injection quantity at idle at baseline=9mm Injection quantity at idle after Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter Protector=7mm #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 Injector balance at baseline: -0.5, 0.1, -0.2, 0.9, -0.6, -0.1, 0.0, 0.4 Injector balance after additive: -1.0, 1.0, -0.1, 0.9, -0.7, 0.1, -0.7, 0.6 Less fuel being used at idle. Small boost in mileage from baseline on downhill route: Decrease (BIGGEST) in regeneration intervals: From baseline: longer distance between intervals +241 miles From previous additive (Liqui Moly Pro-Line Diesel Cleaner): longer distance between intervals +181 miles Injector balance seemed to widen slightly. My review is based on product efficiency, any damages to vehicle, check engine lights turning on or off, ability to clear engine codes (if my vehicle has any check engine lights), increase or decrease in mileage, and increase or decrease in regeneration mileage intervals. I will not use price as a factor. You will have determine if product is worth the cost. These products may or may not save you costly repairs or replacement. I cannot determine if these products can or will damage your vehicle. My vehicle has no check engine light or error codes. My vehicle is in good working order with no current issues during this review. My vehicle has over 200,000 miles. This is a stock vehicle, with a stock (OEM) factory tune installed. Just prior to this test, my truck was not performing a regen cycle. Repairs were done which included a new 9th injector, new DPF pressure monitor. The pressure monitor measures pressure before and after the DPF filter. The difference in pressure allow computer to estimate how much soot has accumulated in the DPF filter. A force regen was also performed on my vehicle and a passive regen performed before I received my vehicle from repair shop. Vehicle is performing as it should. Test drive is relatively the same and consistent. 49.5 miles one way, with a drive time of about 56 minutes. There is a gradual 1129 foot elevation gain one way and 1129 elevation loss the opposite way. There is some surface street driving, some freeway driving, and most of drive is highway. Hope this review helps. I will be writing more reviews on other diesel additives. I have some data from other additives for comparison listed below. Most products seemed to help and a couple seemed to worsened DPF performance during testing. You should not compare the towing data for comparison. I have just added it to show that towing will change data. Towing will increase exhaust gas temperatures and should make the DPF more effective. My regen mileage intervals increased, decreasing regen frequency, while towing. There are many factors that affect the DPF performance. The factors that I noticed (on my vehicle) are outside temperature, humidity, and EGTs. Lower temperatures decreased DPF performance. Higher humidity decreased DPF performance. Higher outside temperatures and lower humidity seem to increase DPF performance. Higher EGTs such as towing increased DPF performance. Longer driving distance seems helps the DPF filter as optimal temperatures are reached. It seems like soot accumulates faster when the engine and DPF filter are not warm/hot enough, and faster within the first 10-15 miles of travel. If you are only making short trips then the DPF will fill up faster and regens will be more frequent.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How often should you use this ? By miles or by tanks of fuel ?**
A: The bottle I believe says every 3,000 miles. But I do it every 2-3 fill ups in my VW TDI. It does say however not to overuse so use it with caution.

**Q: How do you use this? pour it in the diesel tank or the dpf fluid tank?  it seems to me the best way to clean would be a dpf fluid additive?**
A: I had a Ford Powerstroke without a DPF tank, so I just poured it in the fuel tank. I don't know on other brands.

**Q: Will this work in a 2014 vw golf tdi 2.0 in the usa?**
A: Work with all vw tdi

**Q: Can it be used in a durmax ?**
A: Any diesel

I put this in my 2015 passat tdi se i can’t tell if it worked however, i did notice it went in regen mode with it so, hopefully it cleaned it. I use their oil which is very very good and 507.00 rated.
