While the forced air is powerful enough to clean stubborn ash and soot off the filter, it will not damage cell walls or platinum coatings or dislodge ceramic from the filter casing. For filters that require extra cleaning, the FSX system offers TrapBurner, which provides the capability to thermally clean the DPF in compliance with OEM specifications.
