Comma Oil has alerted technicians to the fact that a significant, potential risk to the effective operation of DPFs is using the wrong engine oil. Both Diesel Particulate Filters and certain catalytic converters require what are known as ‘low SAPS’ oils, i.e those which are low in sulphated ash and other harmful components which can cause premature failure of exhaust after treatment units.
Comma removes the guesswork and potential for mis-application with an application service that is 100% guaranteed to recommend the right type of oil for any given vehicle – even those that require a low SAPS oil. Detailed application data covering over 7,000 models dating back as much as 30 years is listed in the company’s Workshop Application Guide and on-line via a constantly updated ‘VRN look-up’ facility.
