DPF Info

DPF Info is a specialized Chrome extension designed to help you check the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) saturation level in your car. It uses an ELM327 Bluetooth 3.0 diagnostic interface to communicate with your vehicle’s ECU and retrieve extended diagnostics information without altering any data or performing service procedures.

Currently, DPF Info supports a range of diesel engines from manufacturers including Ford, Opel, VAG (Volkswagen Group), and Volvo. The extension provides a free base version that displays all available DPF diagnostic parameters and a Pro version that includes additional functionality (without adding more parameters). Recommended ELM327 devices include iCar PRO BT 3.0 and vLinker MC+ BT 3.0 for optimal performance.

DPF Info is especially useful for drivers who want to avoid unexpected forced regenerations, minimize engine wear, and promote eco-friendly driving habits by monitoring and managing their DPF status effectively. Note that compatibility depends on your vehicle and ELM327 interface, and using the extension carries some risk due to the complexity of automotive ECU communication systems.
