FBC System Maintenance

Click here for more information on Eminox Filter Service Exchange – Professional cleaning of the wall-flow filter in your FBC system.

During normal operation, FBC system maintenance depends upon the rate at which soot and ash deposits accumulate in the filter. As ash, the incombustible residue of burnt engine oil, and soot accumulate, the back pressure of the exhaust system will rise. The FBC system has a built in back pressure monitor which will indicate when the filter needs servicing.

In addition, periodic filter cleaning is recommended to maintain the service interval and system performance.
