Purpose and Specifications

The VAICO V60-0484 is a premium diesel fuel additive designed specifically for soot and particulate filter regeneration in modern diesel engines. This 3-liter bottle treats up to 300 liters of diesel fuel, helping your vehicle's diesel particulate filter (DPF) burn off trapped soot more effectively for smoother performance and fewer trips to the mechanic.

Key practical benefits include:

• Cleaner DPF operation: Lowers regeneration temperature by up to 100°C, making it easier for the filter to self-clean during normal driving.
• Better fuel efficiency: Reduces soot buildup to maintain steady power and improve miles per gallon.
• Longer engine life: Prevents costly clogs in injectors and filters, ideal for vehicles from 1998-2025 with 50-177 kW (68-241 hp) engines.
• Winter-ready: Binds water in fuel to avoid corrosion and ensure reliable starts down to -20°C.

Shelf life is 3 years unopened; use within 6 months of opening for best results. Add every 10,000 km or 12 months as preventive maintenance.

When to Use / Replace?

Use VAICO V60-0484 if your dashboard shows DPF warnings, you notice power loss, rough idling, or increased fuel use. It's perfect for high-mileage diesels (over 100,000 km) or during long motorway drives where regeneration happens naturally. Pour directly into your fuel tank before filling up—simple and mess-free. Replace the additive treatment every 10,000 km or annually to keep your DPF healthy and avoid expensive repairs costing thousands.
