Step-by-Step: How We Restore Your DPF Performance
Quick & Easy Connection
We connect our Wynns Multi-Serve machine directly to your vehicle's DPF. This is a huge win for you because it means we don't have to dismantle your DPF, saving you both time and a lot of money on labor. The entire process is non-invasive, efficient and highly effective.
Breaking Down Deposits
We inject a specialised cleaning agent into the DPF. This powerful formula is designed to attack and break down the stubborn deposits of hydrocarbons and ash that are choking your DPF, By solidifying this blockage, we prepare the filter for the next step, a thorough flush helping to restore its functionality and avoid the need for a far more expensive DPF replacement.
The Flush
Once the deposits are broken down, we inject a specialised flushing agent into the DPF. This step mirrors the cleaning process but uses a different formula to physically remove the solidified particles, clearing the blockage and ensuring they are expelled through the exhaust system.
Ash Removal
This professional clean is the only way to remove the ash that builds up in your DPF over time. Unlike hydrocarbons, ash is a non-combustible material that simple "forced regenerations" or DIY additives can't touch. We physically flush out this solid residue, which is crucial for full restoration, especially given the low quality of diesel in Australia that contributes to this buildup.
Final Polish
To finish the process, we add a specialised cleaning additive to your fuel tank. This treatment supports a hotter DPF regeneration, effectively burning off any leftover residue during the vehicle's automatic regeneration cycles. For best results, an open highway drive is recommended, as city driving alone won't trigger the regeneration process effectively.
Power Restored
With the DPF cleared of both hydrocarbons (soot) and ash, your engine can breathe freely again. This immediately restores lost power, driveability and improves your fuel economy, making your vehicle feel like new.

Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered our most common questions here to help you get the clarity you need.
How long does the cleaning process take?
The full cleaning process with our Wynns machine usually takes between 1-2 hours, depending on how badly blocked the filter is.
How long will the clean last?
A professional clean will only last if the root cause of the DPF blockage is addressed. Without fixing issues like poor driving habits, subpar diesel quality, missed oil changes, or mechanical faults, the blockage will likely return. Tackle these problems, and the clean can last a long time.
What's the difference between a "Forced regeneration" and a "Professional Clean" ?
A "Forced regeneration" is triggered by your vehicle's computer to burn off trapped hydrocarbons by injecting extra diesel or AdBlue into the DPF, creating a higher temperature burn. However, it only works if the blockage isn't too severe and doesn't remove ash. A "professional clean" with our Wynns machine is far more thorough, using a specialised cleaning agent to flush out both hydrocarbons and ash, fully restoring the DPF to like new condition.
What is a DPF and what does it do?
Think of the DPF as a sieve in your exhaust system. It's job is to trap harmful hydrocarbons and (soot) left over from engine combustion, preventing them from being released into the atmosphere. This is essential for meeting modern environmental and vehicle emission standards.
Why is my DPF Blocked?
The most common cause of a blocked DPF is frequent short distance driving, which prevents the ECU from completing a regeneration cycle. Over time, this leads to soot buildup and blockages. Other factors include missed oil changes, faulty sensors, or issues with the fuel system or boost.
What are the warning signs of a blocked DPF?
Signs of a blocked DPF include reduced fuel economy, sluggish performance, and, in more severe cases, the engine entering limp mode. You'll also see a warning light pop up on the dashboard, signaling the issue.
What can I do to prevent the DPF from blocking again?
To prevent your DPF from blocking again, make sure to take your vehicle on regular long distance drives at least 20-30 minutes at highway speeds with RPM's above 2500 once a fortnight. This allows the ECU to perform an automatic regen and burn of hydrocarbons (soot). Also, always use the correct low ash oil for your vehicle to minimise ash buildup and known quality diesel.
Is it better to clean the DPF or just replace it?
Cleaning is almost always the first and best option. A new DPF can cost thousands of dollars, while cleaning it is a fraction of the price. We only recommend replacement if the DPF is physically damaged inside and cleaning is no longer an option.
Can I just remove or "Delete" the DPF?
No, it is illegal to remove or "Delete" the DPF in Australia. Not only will it make your vehicle unroadworthy, but you could also face a significant fines. It's a key part of your vehicle's emissions system and must be kept in place and working properly.
