Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Service

Your diesel particulate filter (DPF) plays a critical role in reducing emissions and maintaining your engine’s performance. Over time, soot and ash build up inside the filter, restricting exhaust flow and causing power loss, increased fuel consumption, and potential engine damage.
At Rob’s Automotive Repair in Clackamas, Oregon, our ASE-certified technicians specialize in DPF cleaning, diagnostics, and service for light-duty diesel vehicles and fleets.

What Is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?

The diesel particulate filter is part of your vehicle’s exhaust after-treatment system. Its purpose is to trap soot and ash particles from diesel exhaust, ensuring your truck meets EPA emissions standards. As the filter fills with soot, it must either regenerate (burn off the buildup) or be professionally cleaned to maintain efficiency.

If left unattended, a clogged DPF can lead to:

• Reduced engine power and performance
• Poor fuel economy
• Warning lights on the dashboard
• Higher exhaust temperatures
• Potential turbo or engine damage

When you see your diesel particulate filter warning light, don’t ignore it — schedule service right away to prevent further issues.

Our DPF Cleaning and Service Process

At Rob’s Automotive Repair, we use advanced tools and techniques to restore your DPF to optimal condition. Our technicians inspect, diagnose, and clean filters safely and effectively, using industry-approved equipment.

Our DPF service process includes:

1. Comprehensive inspection and blockage assessment
2. Filter flow testing to determine soot and ash buildup
3. Professional DPF cleaning using methods such as:
   • Hydrodynamic cleaning (using fluid jets to remove soot buildup)
   • Thermal baking (heating the DPF in a specialized furnace to burn off trapped particulates)
4. Drying and flow testing to ensure proper airflow and functionality
5. Reinstallation and system verification for proper sensor readings

These steps ensure your diesel truck or fleet vehicle maintains performance, efficiency, and compliance with emissions standards.
