Do China V vehicles require urea addition?
2 Answers
China V vehicles must add urea. Hazards of not adding urea to China V vehicles: For the vehicle itself: China V vehicles must add urea. If not added, it may cause the vehicle to experience torque limitation, inability to accelerate, lack of power, and increased fuel consumption. Environmental protection: The government has introduced new environmental policies focusing on the treatment of diesel vehicle exhaust. Vehicle urea, as a mandatory additive, is used to process nitrogen oxides in the exhaust, reducing the emission of substances harmful to the atmosphere. Therefore, not adding urea will cause pollution to the atmosphere. Traffic law enforcement: Nowadays, many regions have exhaust emission detection points, similar to speed detection. If the exhaust exceeds the standard and is detected, the vehicle will be penalized.
National V diesel vehicles indeed require urea addition. Having driven this type of vehicle for several years, I have deep personal experience with this. Urea, also called AdBlue or diesel exhaust fluid, is specifically added to the exhaust system to break down harmful nitrogen oxides in the emissions. If you don't add it, the SCR warning light on the dashboard will illuminate, and the system will automatically limit the vehicle speed to protect components - I've encountered this situation myself where the car suddenly couldn't accelerate properly while driving, which was quite frustrating. The refill process is very simple - most gas stations have urea filling ports, and you can just buy a bottle, unscrew the cap and pour it in. I recommend checking the tank fluid level monthly, especially before long trips to avoid problems on the road. Adding urea not only meets National V emission requirements but also extends engine life. It's worth spending a little money for peace of mind while driving. Also, gasoline vehicles typically don't need this, so make sure to distinguish between them when choosing a car.
