Diesel AdBlue

[DenisM]

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?

I refilled 10 liters after 9100km.

10ltrs after 3500klms - which is a bit steep in my book.

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

I filled 16L after 9,000km! Computer said 1,000km to go...

But then the tank was not full before?

 

[NixGrenadier2023]

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.

 

[NixGrenadier2023]

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

 

[NixGrenadier2023]

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.

Have done 20000kms, last 7500 towing Perth Melbourne return… have used 25l of adblue so far…

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…

Walk into Bunnings.
Price match this price online, and they will take 10% off. Under $30 per 10ltr https://automotivesuperstore.com.au...MI79iY2tGAhgMVyqlmAh3Wcg3dEAQYASABEgL_NfD_BwE

....Or, you can take a 10L container to a truck stop: $19.50 from the bowser

 

[Davman]

Or just fill up at the bowser whilst you are there

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

I just paid €15 for 10 litres in a French supermarket.
