Adblue

[Tdi]

I just got a 2013 diesel and I start thinking about adblue process already. Oil change would be very straight forward. But I am cluesless on the Adblue. Do we top off every 5K oil change or 10K?, Do I buy the first adblue bottle Kruser (spelling?) and Used it as a funnel to fill up the rest because I going to buy 2.5 gallon from wall mart Blue Def for $12 to fill it up. And lastly, do I have to reset anything through Durametric on Adblue? It is a wonderfull car but the idea of service every 5k is a lot of time at the dealer. I would appreciate that anyone could help me on this.thanksTDI

AdBlue is supposed to refilled about every 10K miles, or when the dash warning indicates you are running low. Nothing needs to be reset, the system is totally automatic.

thank you for your respond. would you be using the Kruser bottle to fill up and cut the bottom so it can be use as a funnel to top off with generic Urea solution from walmart or Autozone? Around here $10 for a 1 liter. and we need 5 gallons to fill up. Do you think is it ok to use the generic solution?

Many thanks

A lot of people use the "Wal-Mart alternative"; it is just a 35% urea mixture. The easiest way to fill the tank is with the correct bottle, but then that has to be filled from the larger container.

I have 17000 miles on my CD. I added ad Blue twice (2.5 gals each time).
