Nissan Murano Diesel Particulate Filter DPF Z51 (2007-2014)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on the Nissan Murano II (Z51, 2005-2015) is an exhaust system component installed mainly on the 2.5 dCi 4x4 engine (YD25DDTi, 190 hp, Euro 5 standard). Its purpose is to capture harmful fine soot particles from diesel exhaust gases using a porous ceramic structure made of silicon carbide or cordierite, thereby reducing vehicle emissions and protecting the environment.

If your Nissan Murano's DPF is clogged or malfunctioning, you may notice:

• Increased fuel consumption
• Reduced engine power and overall performance
• Illumination of the "Check Engine" warning light
• Increased exhaust backpressure caused by soot buildup

Addressing these symptoms promptly helps maintain engine efficiency and emissions compliance.

The DPF traps soot particles in its porous honeycomb structure inside the exhaust line. Over time, soot accumulation causes backpressure, which the system manages through two types of regeneration:

• Passive regeneration: During long drives at high exhaust temperatures, the catalytic converter burns off soot automatically.
• Active regeneration: The engine management system injects extra fuel to raise exhaust temperature and burn soot when passive regeneration is insufficient. Sensors monitor pressure and temperature to control this process.

The filter can hold up to approximately 60 grams of ash before requiring intervention such as cleaning or replacement.

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your Nissan Murano's DPF:

• Manual regeneration: Drive continuously at speeds between 60-80 km/h for 25-30 minutes to reach operating temperatures that burn soot deposits.
• Forced regeneration: Use diagnostic tools (like VCDS) to initiate regeneration when needed.
• Decarbonization: Professional cleaning using chemical or ultrasonic methods removes combustion residues (carbon deposits) from the DPF and engine components.

Regular inspection and cleaning prevent costly replacements.

Replacement is recommended between 125,000 and 175,000 km to avoid failures and maintain optimal vehicle performance. Nissan Murano DPFs for the 2.5 dCi or 3.5 petrol engines are made from silicon carbide or cordierite, weighing between 4.6 and 10.8 kg with lengths from 400 to 1410 mm depending on the model.

OEM reference numbers include 200101AT0A and 20010-1AT0A. It is important to choose a verified, high-quality DPF compatible with your vehicle’s engine and emission standards.

You can purchase verified, factory-quality DPFs designed specifically for the Nissan Murano 2.5 dCi 4x4 (Z51, 2010-2015).

• Returns require prior approval by technical support
• Faulty DPFs caused by neglect, misuse, or clogging are excluded from warranty coverage

For warranty claims or returns, contact customer service for assistance and guidance.

The DPF on the Nissan Murano Z51 is fitted in the exhaust line, typically positioned after the turbocharger and before the catalytic converter. It works in tandem with sensors that monitor exhaust gas pressure and temperature to control active and passive regeneration cycles.

• Monitored by pressure and temperature sensors
• Located to optimally capture and combust soot particles
• Integrated into the vehicle's emission control system

If you need precise sensor locations or installation info, verified installation manuals and technical support are available from your parts supplier.

Regular inspection of the entire exhaust system, including the DPF and catalytic converter, is essential for emission compliance and vehicle performance.
