Proper DPF cleaning is a complex process that should only be done by a professionally trained facility.

Q: Who should clean my DPF filter?

A: Proper DPF cleaning is a complex process that should only be done by a professionally trained facility. Your filter is worth thousands of dollars, and it is costly to have a truck down for longer periods than necessary during maintenance. Improper cleanings can lead to the destruction and/or degradation of your filter, so make sure it’s done by a trained professional. Do you really want to trust just anyone to handle and clean your DPF?
