Purpose and Specifications

The 3RG 88242 is a diesel fuel additive designed for diesel engines, particularly those in the 2.0-2.2 HDi range (107-136 hp). This 3-liter treatment bottle works by cleaning and regenerating your diesel particulate filter (DPF), which is the component that traps harmful soot and emissions from your exhaust.

Key Benefits:

• Cleans diesel injector deposits for smoother engine operation
• Reduces soot buildup in the DPF system
• Improves fuel combustion efficiency
• Helps maintain emission system performance
• Prevents rough idling and hard starting caused by fuel system contamination

Product Details:

• Volume: 3 liters per bottle
• Fuel Type: Diesel only
• Brand Category: Mid-range quality
• Manufacturer: 3RG
• EAN Code: 8433889128701

When to Use / Replace?

Use this additive when you notice warning signs of DPF problems or as preventive maintenance. Most diesel vehicle owners add fuel treatment every 10,000-15,000 km or approximately every 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions. If you frequently drive short distances or in stop-and-go traffic, your DPF accumulates soot faster and may benefit from more frequent treatment.

Signs you need this additive include: reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, DPF warning light on your dashboard, or visible black smoke from the exhaust.

Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Typical shelf life is 2-3 years when stored properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this in gasoline engines?
A: No. This product is formulated exclusively for diesel engines. Using it in gasoline engines may cause damage.

Q: How much does one bottle treat?
A: One 3-liter bottle typically treats a full diesel fuel tank (40-70 liters depending on your vehicle). Check your owner's manual for exact dosing instructions for your specific model.

Q: Will this fix a clogged DPF?
A: This additive helps prevent and reduce soot buildup and supports DPF regeneration. For severely clogged filters, professional cleaning or replacement may be necessary. Use this as preventive maintenance or early-stage treatment.
