Can You Put Too Much Redex in Your Car? No, you can't overdose your car with Redex. Our fuel additives are developed to be quick and simple to use, with a specially designed bottle that makes it easy to add a single shot of Redex to your car's fuel system.
What happens if I use more than the recommended dose? Adding too much Redex won't cause any damage to your car or interrupt the combustion cycle. Plus, it's hard to use more than the recommended dose because of how the bottle is designed, with clear marks indicating a single dose.
It's only recommended to use a single dose of Redex, if you're fuel tank is bigger than 50 litres still stick to one dose.
We recommend that you use Redex DPF Cleaner in every second or third tank of fuel, particularly if you drive short journeys or do a lot of stop/start driving in a city.

Like all Redex fuel additives, our DPF Cleaner can be added to a full or partially full fuel tank as and when required. It's also safe to use with other products in the Redex diesel fuel additives range.

Redex Diesel System Cleaner is a fuel additive specially developed to reduce emissions and restore performance in your fuel system. It removes deposits that build up on fuel injectors, and can be used safely in all diesel cars including hybrid.

Adding Redex Diesel System Cleaner to your tank regularly can help to keep your car fitter by caring for it inside and increasing fuel economy. Over time, as diesel is ignited and consumed by your engine, deposits build up on the fuel injectors making them less efficient.
In fact, dosing your vehicle with Redex is that simple, many of our customers add the product whenever they fill up with fuel. Remember, though, that whilst we'd recommend adding a shot of Redex each time you fill up, the product can be added at any time – provided your vehicle is adequately fuelled.
