I have a 2020 Ecodiesel. Should I be using a dpf cleaner product? If so, what’s a good brand, and how often?
Thanks!
Thanks!

To the best of my knowledge there is no magic DPF cleaning product, just use the freshest DEF you can find, IMO if you don't tow often then its a good idea to take a nice long Sunday afternoon drive on the Hwy no less then twice a month so that the DPF filter gets hot enough to do a full passive regen...I have a 2020 Ecodiesel.

The EcoDiesel DPF won't get hot enough just driving on the freeway to do a passive regen, you need to be towing heavy for it to get hot enough for a passive regen. I've seen it happen a handful of times with about 8K behind me.IMO if you don't tow often then its a good idea to take a nice long Sunday afternoon drive on the Hwy no less then twice a month so that the DPF filter gets hot enough to do a full passive regen...
Did not know they would not get hot enough on a long hwy drive, so I learned something new todayThe EcoDiesel DPF won't get hot enough just driving on the freeway to do a passive regen, you need to be towing heavy for it to get hot enough for a passive regen.

It is a good idea to run them on the freeway to get things up to operating temperatures and so it's able to do an active regen. An active regen will inject fuel on the exhaust stroke to promote the DPF burn off where as passive regen is just the heat from combustion.
This right hereDon't buy into any DPF cleaner snake oil, the truck will take care of itself. And just to be clear, DEF fluid has nothing to do with the DPF.
