We’re just now beginning to accept that we have to do things differently from what we have always done in order to maintain our aftertreatment systems. We’ve had 14 years to figure it out, yet diesel ...

The diesel particulate filter (DPF) has continued to improve over its 15-year existence. So have other components of aftertreatment systems (ATS) that help send cleaner exhaust through the DPF.

Note: This is the third in a series that looks at the diesel particulate filter and maintenance best practices that an impact its lifecycle. The first installment, "Diesel coolant heaters boost DPF ...

To paraphrase Pete Townshend of The Who, we're not trying to cause a big sensation; we're just talkin' 'bout regeneration. DPF regeneration, that is. It's the process of cleaning a diesel particulate ...

If you've been driving a diesel car made post-2007, you'll most likely be familiar with what a DPF is, as it became a legal requirement for all diesel cars at this point in the U.S. to be equipped ...

Careful DPF maintenance will boost both your uptime and bottom line. When the diesel particulate filter was introduced with the change to 2007 engine technology, manufacturers were careful to explain ...

Government agencies and car manufacturers have worked to reduce the emissions and harmful gases in our air over the last few decades. Automakers downsized car engines and pushed EVs, while the ...

Diesel particulate filters (aka DPFs) have become ubiquitous over the past decade-plus. Any trucker running a rig built since 2007 likely knows well the pain points of maintaining and wrestling with ...

Diesel trucks are built tough and can last up to five years without issue. However, I've worked on trucks — both professionally and in my garage — for a decade, and I've seen how long they can last ...

A Diesel Particulate Filter — known as a DPF for ease — is part of a diesel car's exhaust system, designed to filter out harmful particles. Unfortunately, not maintaining a DPF properly can lead to ...
