Why choose a Skyline DPF over a reman DPF? Also known as re-cored or re-conditioned, a remanufactured DPF is a used DPF that has been cleaned at a centralized facility after years of service. While a reman might appear to be a cost-effective purchase, you are paying a lot of money for an old filter with a completely unknown history. You don’t know its mileage, what trucks it has been on, or if it was damaged in the past.
Why is a Skyline DPF a better choice than a Reman DPF?

The comparison
While a reman DPF can cost you much more than the initial price, a Skyline DPF is always brand new. Reman DPFs usually have a warranty of only 6 months, but Skyline offers a 3 year warranty on all of our DPFs and DOCs. Reman DPFs have hundreds of thousands of hard miles on them (and an unknown service history) but Skyline provides extended cleaning intervals. Reman DPFs may soon build up backpressure, require cleaning, or impact your turbocharger and other engine components, while Skyline DPFs give you a fresh start.
With an offering that covers DPFs, DOCs, clamps, and gaskets, Skyline is your best source for OEM quality, OEM performance, a 3 year warranty, at an aftermarket price.
