We recommend using Redex DPF Cleaner with every 2-3 tanks of fresh fuel. This will prevent the DPF from ever becoming blocked, so no more panicking when the warning light appears. Alternatively, you can add a shot of DPF Cleaner when the light comes on.
Most drivers find that if the DPF warning light comes on in their car, after having applied a dose of DPF cleaner to the fuel tank, the light disappears within 10 – 15 minutes, without requiring expensive intervention by mechanics.
We recommend that you use Redex DPF Cleaner in every second or third tank of fuel, particularly if you drive short journeys or do a lot of stop/start driving in a city.
Many users of Redex fuel additives want to know if they can use Diesel System Cleaner at the same time as DPF Cleaner. The good news is that these two products are safe to use together.
Product Details. DPF cleaner quickly clears blocked diesel particulate filters and regenerates the DPF. Prevents soot blockages to avoid costly repairs.
So it is advised that drivers regularly give their diesel vehicle a good 30 to 50 minute run at sustained speed on a motorway or A-road to help clear the filter.
What happens if I use more than the recommended dose? Adding too much Redex won't cause any damage to your car or interrupt the combustion cycle. Plus, it's hard to use more than the recommended dose because of how the bottle is designed, with clear marks indicating a single dose.
Redex mixes with your fuel, so simply add it to your tank when you top up to help you improve your MPG and save money.
Heat the engine
The easiest and cheapest method of DPF filter cleaning is by driving the vehicle for a long-distance at high revs per minute. Doing this increases the heat of the exhaust and burns the soot blocking the DPF filter.

Redex should be used regularly to keep your engine and fuel injectors performing at their best. Each product in the Redex range is developed and tested to ensure that there are no damaging side effects, but for best results follow the pack instructions and apply one shot to 50 litres of fuel.
You should consult the handbook for your vehicle for more specific guidance on how you should drive to initiate regeneration of the DPF and clear the warning light. Nevertheless, a general rule of thumb to follow is that you should run the engine at least 40 mph and at least 2500 rpm.

I usually get around 400/430 miles from a full tank but recently I got over 480 miles on a tank. So yes this does work, it has improved my mpg and the engine feels better. The only downside I can think of is that I have had to go online to get any as I can't find it on the High Street.
Remember, though, that whilst we'd recommend adding a shot of Redex each time you fill up, the product can be added at any time – provided your vehicle is adequately fuelled.

These can then be passed through the system and expelled out of the exhaust. They are claimed to cause no damage to other parts of the engine.
Most DPFs will automatically clear as they're used but on rare occasions, in specific circumstances, they may get blocked and require manual cleaning. In normal use, a DPF cleans or regenerates itself by reaching a sufficient temperature to burn off the excess soot.
