I just topped up ad-blue which admit ran to 800km remaining. It took in 10.2L to full. How does this compare to others? I thought the ad tank was 17L?

The tank reputedly holds 17L. For the first approx 6000km mine was using about 1L per 1000km. It depends on how much 'right foot' you use. Towing and heavy 4wd will increase the AdBlue consumption significantly
How many km had you done prior to topping up the AdBlue tank?

Yep. was similar. Probably low on the ad blue when collected, right.

I now have driven 15,800km (6,800km since full top-up) and computer showing 4,000km to go! Seems to have a bit of an AdBlue adiction.

It must have been close to full since I have been checking the level from the start, and it was showing 100% when I picked it up.

I would say average of 10,750km per 17L of AdBlue!

It's $45AUD ($30US) per 10L at Repco, so that's $76.50AUD ($50US) for a tank of AdBlue...

Hi @NixGrenadier2023 I have to revise my statement above, I was too hasty and didn't do the maths, sorry.
I have now compared the consumption of the two of us (I calculated this for myself months ago and posted it here in the forum).

We are both the same: approx. 0.15 litres/100 km.

Then you're still a bit below us in terms of consumption.

Ok 15,000km and I have used 17L of ad-blue over 2x top ups total. So, a little over 1L/1000km which I am happy with.

Recently saw 10L Adblue at Costco for $35AUD, next time I stock up on bog rolls and jerky I will grab a few…

Is there a standard nozzle size for Adblue pumps at servos?
