Keeping your Hino’s diesel particulate filter (DPF) in top shape takes more than just idle driving—it requires proper maintenance to prevent clogging and restore optimal performance. The OEM 17431‑1690 DPF delivers reliability and precision fit, but making it last starts with the right care—particularly thermal cleaning.
-
Deep Clean, Not Just Surface Wash
Thermal cleaning isn’t just blasting air—it uses controlled heat to burn off embedded soot and residue that normal cleaning can’t reach. This method ensures your DPF is truly refreshed. -
Helps Prevent Filter Damage
By carefully eliminating built-up ash, thermal cleaning preserves the DPF’s core structure, reducing risks of cracking or damage from improper cleaning methods. -
Supports More Efficient Regeneration
A clean DPF promotes smoother passive regeneration, helping maintain better fuel efficiency and fewer forced regens that can interrupt operation. -
Prolongs Overall Aftertreatment Health
When the filter stays clean, downstream components like DOCs, SCR systems, and sensors stay protected from excessive soot—cutting the risk of premature wear and costly repairs. -
