I thought DEF was a US requirement now, or is that just for diesel trucks? I don't see enough diesel cars around here to know.

70% of the time I've talked about DEF people think I'm pulling their leg. lol

Also do those cars even have EGR valves, or are they just like the LFX and most other cars where they just leave the exhaust valves open longer?
