Volvo S90 Diesel Particulate Filter DPF 2 (Ii) (2016-2025)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on the Volvo S90 Diesel captures particulate matter from exhaust gases during normal driving. The DPF regenerates automatically by burning off accumulated soot once the engine reaches normal operating temperature, a process taking around 10 to 20 minutes.

The DPF is specific to diesel engines, particularly:

• Volvo S90 II 2.0 D4 (234) with 163 hp (120 kW), built from 03/2016 to 12/2019, for which specific replacement filters are available.
• Volvo S90 (964), with a recommended DPF replacement interval between 140,000 and 190,000 km to prevent issues.

The DPF plays a key role in the emission control system of Volvo S90 diesel models.

The DPF regeneration is an automatic process where trapped particles are burned off at high temperatures once the engine reaches its normal operating temperature.

• The process usually takes 10 to 20 minutes.
• During regeneration, engine power may slightly decrease and fuel consumption may increase.
• A burning smell can sometimes be noticed.
• Using a parking heater in cold weather is recommended to help the engine reach operating temperature faster and facilitate regeneration.

Optimal regeneration is achieved with variable driving conditions at different speeds.

Short trips at low speeds, especially in cold weather, can prevent the DPF from reaching the necessary temperatures for regeneration. This can cause:

• Malfunctions and warning messages related to the DPF.
• Increased risk of filter clogging and reduced performance.

To help maintain DPF function, it is recommended to drive at speeds above 60 km/h (about 37 mph) for at least 20 minutes between refuelings.

The Volvo S90 general maintenance schedule does not specify a fixed DPF replacement interval. However, regular checks and maintenance such as oil changes and system inspections are crucial to DPF health.

• Recommended DPF replacement generally between 140,000 and 190,000 km depending on usage.
• Regular checks of the entire exhaust system and related components are advised.

The Volvo S90 maintenance booklet is available online for detailed service intervals and recommendations.

There are free step-by-step manuals and video tutorials available online for Volvo S90 maintenance, including some guidance related to the exhaust system and DPF.

Common practices involve monitoring regeneration and ensuring driving conditions support it. Replacement parts for the DPF are available through specialized suppliers that offer direct-to-consumer delivery across Europe.

• For safe and effective maintenance, always follow official guidance.
• Replacement DPFs consist of high-quality stainless steel and advanced ceramic monoliths for durability and performance.
• Improper handling or ignoring DPF issues can result in damage and loss of warranty.

The DPF is a critical component of the Volvo S90's emissions control system, officially fitted and certified to reduce particulate emissions in diesel vehicles.

• It captures soot particles from the exhaust to significantly lower air pollution.
• Automatically regenerates to burn off and reduce accumulated particulate matter, helping the vehicle comply with emission standards.
• Works in conjunction with catalytic converters and other exhaust components to maintain efficient emission control.

Using a well-maintained DPF helps protect the environment and ensures the vehicle meets regulatory emission levels.

Quality new DPFs for the Volvo S90 are manufactured in Europe with advanced technology and comply with strict European regulations certified by TÜV SÜD Automotive.

• Manufactured in stainless steel INOX 409 with high-grade ceramic monoliths treated with rare metals for enhanced durability and performance.
