“Why We Don’t Use Inferior DPF Refill Fluids”
We asked 5 leading technicians why they only use the iconic
JLM Lubricants DPF Refill Fluid in the workshop.
Here’s what they told us…
“The JLM DPF Refill Fluid is our trusted product for topping up DPF Additive systems at The DPF Doctor HQ. DPF Additive Fluid
is a Fuel Borne Catalyst that is used primarily on numerous vehicles including Peugeot, Citroen, Toyota, VW, Fiat, Mini, Vauxhall,
Jaguar, Lancia, Mazda, Ford, and Volvo vehicles to lower the burn temperature of soot in the exhaust. In turn this reduces the
timescale necessary for a successful DPF regeneration. Without the correct amount of active ingredients (FBC) in the DPF Fluid,
the DPF system cannot function correctly, and this leads to premature blocking of the DPF, increased MPG and in some cases
a damaged DPF. We have seen an increase in problems caused by poor quality DPF fluids due to little or no active ingredients.
We have noticed this by data logging cars during regeneration and noticed abnormal behaviour. This has been corrected by
refilling the additive tank with JLM DPF Refill Fluid. As DPF Specialists it is critical that we only use products that either meet or
exceed OE spec and this is why JLM DPF Refill Fluid is the ONLY product that makes it into our own workshop. It does exactly
what is should, every time and is therefore good enough for my customers’ vehicles.”
Darren Darling, Founder of The DPF Doctor Network
“The only DPF refill fluid I stock, and use is the JLM brand. It’s a genuine alternative to the original DPF fluids used by the vehicle
manufacturers. In all the time we have used it we’ve never had any issue and in fact we have regular customers that have used
the JLM DPF Refill Fluid and because of this, over time, we can report no adverse effects - only positive DPF health from its use.
Cheap alternatives are just that, cheap! JLM is quality, real value for money.”
Keith Shanahan, DPF Doctor Network member, Shanahan Auto Services, Ireland
“Here at Simply Diagnostics, we, and our simplydiag.net members, see vehicles frequently with additive system faults, low DPF
fluid levels, communication errors, blocked DPF etc. We only use tier one products in our repairs and the JLM DPF refill fluid
fits the bill perfectly. It has the appropriate active ingredient concentrations, putting it on par with the OEM fluid specifications
across 4 fluid types, something cheaper brands don’t always have or comply with. This is very noticeable when we have vehicles
that have been “topped up” at other workshops and systems reset. They often return DPF faults and block the DPF within a short
period of time. This is a big problem when inferior products are used as it can lead to rapid, irreparable, thermal damage of the
systems designed to lower DPF temperatures.” Steve Scott, Founder SimplyDiag Network
“Here in France the JLM DPF Refill Fluid seems to be the only one that can replace all 4 generations of xxxxx (competitor refill
fluid). The universal use and competitive price are beneficial for inventory management and for avoiding error fillings with the
wrong fluid.” Job Gevers, Garage Service 58, France
“We only use the JLM DPF Refill Fluid because we are 100% convinced of the product quality. Over the many years we have
been using the product, we have had no complaints about ineffective or damaged particle filters. Another advantage is that
we can replace four original fluids with it. This reduces storage costs, and we can serve our customers quickly and flexibly.”
