How to Solve Excessive DPF Carbon Loading?

It is necessary to perform DPF service station regeneration activation for learning. The primary condition for DOF service station regeneration activation learning is that the exhaust after-treatment system hardware must be free of faults before proceeding with the learning. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for professional inspection and handling by experts. Specific information is as follows: 1. Extended information: DPF is a particulate filter installed in the diesel engine emission system, which captures particulate matter in the exhaust before it enters the atmosphere. 2. DPF: DPF particulate trapping technology is a relatively effective method for reducing particulate matter in exhaust. When the engine exhaust flows through the filter, particulate matter in the exhaust is captured by the filter through processes such as interception, diffusion, gravitational settling, and inertial collision. The trapping efficiency is mainly influenced by factors such as the material and structure of the filter, particle size, exhaust temperature, and exhaust flow velocity. Currently, wall-flow honeycomb ceramic particulate filters can achieve a filtration efficiency of over 90% for particulate matter.
As a seasoned diesel car driver, I've encountered high DPF soot loading multiple times. For example, last winter when I did lots of short trips, the dashboard light came on. I immediately took the highway for over 40 minutes, keeping RPM around 3000 until the light went off. The key is raising exhaust temperature to trigger active regeneration and burn off soot deposits. Avoid frequent stop-and-go short trips in daily driving - ideally take one long-distance drive weekly or maintain 80 km/h speed for half an hour. Prevention beats cure: regularly check air filters for blockages and use proper engine oil to minimize issues. Otherwise, severe clogging means expensive DPF cleaning/replacement or even engine damage. Pay attention to these driving details - safety first.
