How DEF Works

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is an exhaust after treatment system that injects a small amount of a chemical called Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust. DEF is mixed with exhaust in the presence of a catalyst turning NOx (oxides of nitrogen – a harmful pollutant that contributes to smog and acid rain) into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.

Advantages of SCR

  • SCR provides better fuel economy

  • SCR meets 2010 Vehicle Emissions Standards for Diesel Engines

  • SCR improves engine lubricant and filter life
