The diesel particulate filter (DPF), when clogged, can create back pressure in the exhaust that may compromise the operation of the turbocharger and the entire engine. If normal regeneration does not clean the filter and a soot clogging value remains too high, proceed with a specific cleaning of the filter, which involves removing the filter itself and using special additives that chemically attack the deposits and soot, followed by washing the filter with a special cleaning machine.
