How to Detect a Clogged DPF?
- DPF Warning Light On: the filter icon (an open rectangle with dots and a vertical bar) lights up on the dashboard.
- Loss of Power: the engine idles roughly and struggles uphill.
- Increased Fuel Consumption: more frequent regenerations and higher exhaust gas recirculation.
- Smoke or Odor: thick exhaust emissions and a sooty smell.
- OBD Code P2002: high differential pressure before and after the DPF.
How to Prevent DPF Blockage?
Actioil A550 & A440 work directly in the combustion chamber to reduce particle formation by up to 90%. By limiting particle production, they effectively delay DPF clogging.
- Initial Dose: Add 1 L of Actioil (A550 or A440) per 1 000 L of diesel (0.1 % by volume). Ensure the tank is below 30 % capacity before adding.
- Mix and Run: After adding, fill the tank as usual and start the engine: the treatment starts working from the first kilometers.
- Regular Maintenance: Repeat the dose every 6 months or every 10 000 km to maintain clean combustion.

How Much Does DPF Replacement Cost?
A DPF is designed to last the vehicle’s lifetime, but extreme clogging may require replacement. Costs vary by make, model, and workshop. Be sure to obtain multiple quotes.
Which Additive Is Best?
Actioil A550 & A440 are purely preventive solutions: by drastically reducing particles at the point of combustion, they protect your DPF from clogging without acting directly on the filter.
- Lower Fuel Consumption: optimized combustion for fuel savings.
- Engine Protection: improved lubrication and corrosion prevention.
- Reduced Emissions: up to 90 % fewer particles to meet environmental standards.
- Enhanced Engine Performance: increased cetane and anti-knock properties for smoother, more powerful operation.
- Extended Fuel Shelf Life: Actioil prolongs diesel quality over time.
