Infiniti QX50 Diesel Particulate Filter DPF 1 (I) (2007-2017)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in the Infiniti QX50, particularly on the 3.0d AWD V9X diesel engine, is a crucial exhaust system component that traps and removes fine particulate matter from the exhaust gases. It helps reduce pollution and ensures the vehicle meets emission standards.

The DPF operates by physically capturing soot particles from the exhaust gas. It features an automatic regeneration process, which burns off the accumulated soot at high temperatures to prevent clogging. This self-cleaning helps maintain engine performance and reduces emissions.

Replacement of the DPF is recommended approximately every 135,000 to 195,000 km to avoid system failures or blockages. Regular maintenance and monitoring are essential to prolong its lifespan and ensure optimal function.

• DPF replacement interval: 135,000 - 195,000 km
• Signs of clogging include loss of engine power and warning lights
• Forced regeneration or cleaning may be required if clogged

Confirm exact replacement needs by referring to your vehicle’s VIN and maintenance schedule.

This DPF category is for the Infiniti QX50 I (J50) model, specifically the 3.0d AWD V9X diesel engine from August 2013 onwards. Compatible chassis is the first generation J50 series.

• Infiniti QX50 3.0d AWD V9X (2013 and later)

Always verify fitment by consulting the vehicle identification number or expert advice.

Typical signs indicating a clogged DPF include:

If these symptoms occur, inspection, cleaning, or replacement of the DPF may be necessary to avoid costly repairs.
