Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Cleaning

Not All DPF Cleaning Techniques Are Created Equal. Demand Detroit.

Amid tightening environmental standards and increasing fuel prices, Detroit^® engineers have focused on developing innovative technologies that increase efficiency—at the pump and at the tailpipe. With Detroit^® Genuine Parts and more than 800 authorized service outlets across North America, Detroit^® is the clear choice for keeping your diesel emissions filtration systems up and running smoothly.

Developed to capture both soot and ash from exhaust gas, the Detroit^® Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) completely oxidizes the soot, but accumulated ash cannot be oxidized and must be physically removed from the filter. The Detroit^® proprietary cleaning process removes over 95% of accumulated ash, making it more effective than other cleaning methods. Detroit^® is the only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to use thermal, air and liquid cleaning to thoroughly clean each DPF, meeting our own strict standards for Detroit^® Genuine Parts. 

A remanufactured Detroit^® DPF provides the quality you demand, combined with quick turnaround and no-hassle core acceptance. Detroit^® is committed to delivering proven technologies and quality components that:

• Meet emissions standards
• Enhance your vehicle’s resale value
• Minimize downtime

Only Remanufactured Detroit^® DPFs Offer:

• Proprietary, globally accepted thermal/air/liquid cleaning technology
• An environmentally-friendly process
• Automated testing and validation
• Advanced shipping and handling methods
• Fast service at more than 800 authorized service locations

Don't Trust Air-Only Cleaners Because They:

• Don’t loosen and/or remove as much ash, which is packed into the filter substrate
• Claim effective cleaning when removing as little as 30% of accumulated ash
• Require more cleanings and less-efficient operation
• Do NOT meet the strict standards of Detroit^® Genuine Parts

Reduce Downtime: Just Stop, Swap and Go.

When your DPF needs cleaning, choose a remanufactured Detroit^® Genuine Parts DPF for maximum engine performance, enhanced efficiency and reduced downtime—so you get back up and running quickly. Your particulate filter will be exchanged for a clean unit at any authorized Detroit^® service location.

No Downtime is Required for:

• Stationary regeneration
• Installing DPF into an air-pressure blowing machine

Our No-Hassle DPF Core-Exchange Process Enables:

• Off-the-shelf parts availability
• Quick-turn installation
