Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter Protector | 250 ml Diesel Additive | SKU 7180
If you’re behind the wheel of a diesel, you’ll know just how much of a pain clogged diesel particulate filters can be — especially if your driving mostly involves short hops around town or pottering about the city. That’s exactly where the Liqui Moly Diesel Particulate Filter Protector comes into its own. This clever little additive is designed to cut down on soot build-up in your filter, helping it stick around longer and keeping your engine ticking over nicely.
How does it work?
Well, this additive tweaks the combustion process so that less soot is created from the get-go. Pop it in your tank every 2,000 kilometres or so, right before you fill up, and it helps burn off any soot that does manage to form — stopping your filter from getting all clogged up. The 250 ml bottle treats between 50 and 70 litres of diesel, so it fits most tanks perfectly.
Who’s it for?
This one’s spot on for diesel motors fitted with particulate filters that don’t have an electronic additive tank system for regeneration — you might find those systems on some Citroën or Peugeot models, for example. If your car does come with that kind of setup, this product’s not the right fit. Also, a quick heads-up: don’t go overboard with the dose, and for best results, use it alongside a diesel soot guard.
Why bother?
Clogged filters aren’t just annoying; they can really mess with your engine’s performance, ramp up emissions, and lead to some pricey repairs. This additive helps keep your filter cleaner for longer, making sure your fuel burns efficiently and emissions stay in check. It’s a straightforward, no-fuss way to give your diesel engine a bit of TLC — no faffing about with complicated gear or tools.
