DPF Cleaning & Durathon Service ®
In order to protect your equipment investment and to maintain reliable engine and emission performance, the internal filter substrate of your DPF must be cleaned on a regular basis, but your engine must also be properly inspected and running at peak performance.
What is Durathon Service?
Your DPF filter captures the soot and wear materials coming from the engine, and it can mask engine problems that were previously detectable by observing the black smoke coming out of the tailpipe. For this reason FleetCrew recommends performing a thorough maintenance and inspection process to the DPF and the engine on an annual basis.
We call this process Durathon Service®, and it goes above and beyond your typical DPF cleaning, offering extra inspection services and preventative maintenance that helps with early detection of engine malfunction and faults. All inspections and records are sent via FleetCrew iSync™ to your FleetCrew IQ™ fleet-record keeping vault and stored electronically.

Hazardous Waste
The diesel soot and ash that is removed during the cleaning process is toxic and is classified as California hazardous material. During the substrate cleaning process, FleetCrew captures the hazardous material, removes it from your site, and later properly disposes of it in accordance with strict CA Department of Toxic Substances Control law and EPA requirements. For all filter-cleaning services, there is an additional Hazardous Material Waste Fee, which is +$9.95 for Level 1 and $14.95 for Level 2. This is an additional fee listed separately on the invoice.
Key Factors for DPF and Engine Reliability
DPF Reliability and Performance is Key to Truck Reliability and Fuel Economy
- DPF Substrate Cleaning
Your DPF filter substrate must be professionally cleaned at least annually to remove the ash that builds up over time inside the filter. - Opacity Test
During the DPF service, the engine should be subject to an opacity test before re-installing the clean DPF filter. - Engine Maintenance
An annual engine inspection must be carried out because any engine upset conditions or faults can damage the DPF filter. - Annual Emission System Inspection
DPF systems have various annual inspection and maintenance requirements mandated by the original manufacturer. The process includes inspecting the indicator lights and DPF components, upgrading the diagnostics program if necessary, etc. This inspection must be performed by an authorized DPF dealer such as FleetCrew and is available through our expanded or premium Durathon Service. Failure to submit the DPF through this annual process may be the basis for denying a warranty claim.
