Dpf cleaner additives
- Thread starter zad0101

When I first got my van I put in some Wynns Extreme Diesel cleaner - more because I wanted to 'treat' the van. Can't say I noticed any difference.
I've since been using Archoil AR6900 since the beginning of December - so not long. Gets fantastic reviews.
I haven't been using it long enough to give you an honest review but will report back.
My van is nudging 100K. It was this forum tales of DPF woes that made me do it

I also use Archoil AR6900 and did a one-off treatment of 6400 (which is the super duper one they recommend every 5k miles).
On my A6, the big wallop of 6400 defo made a difference. I almost immediately got better economy (although it was never near official figures) and seemed to have to regen less, at least I thought it did before I was more up to speed on the regen process.
I think there are other parts of the DPF system that can affect its behaviour/longevity without being affected by additives (differential pressure for example).
I will continue to use 6900 though just to see if it gives a bit more life to the EGR. I am not really concerned about the DPF - I think they've got a lifespan and as long as they are looked after, it should reach that.

I spent an hour or two last night, bedtime reading about the woes some people have. Didnt help me sleep one bit.When I first got my van I put in some Wynns Extreme Diesel cleaner - more because I wanted to 'treat' the van. Can't say I noticed any difference.

Best diesel additives
Does any have any recommendations for a good addditive I can use? Preferably one that isn’t difficult and readily accessible Cheers
I have used Millers since my ERG was flushed in 2020.
Diesel Power ECOMAX Fuel Treatment
A high specification diesel fuel treatment for enhanced combustion efficiency and engine cleanliness, with improved detergency and lubricity enhancers. This diesel fuel treatment is suitable for vehicles fitted with AdBlue aftertreatment systems.
im also a big fan of this. i buy it in 5l cans which makes it negligible on the cost of a tank of diesel so why not?Best diesel additives
