EOLYS is not a requirement of any emissions standard. It’s merely a part of the implementation of a specific DPF system development by PSA and used on a number of engines across many marques. It is used to allow the burning of soot to happen at lower temperatures. There’s plenty of DPF systems that don’t use any additive, as they can naturally reach the higher temperatures to burn the soot. Fortunately pretty much everyone moved on from it pretty quickly: the D2 engine that replaced the 1.6D in 2011 doesn’t need it (and has a DPF that doesn’t need to be replaced at 75,000 miles).
