Adblue quality Vs price, is it all the same?

[Lubrown]

I always try and leave the packaging with the supplier (they supplied it their problem to dispose!) filled up at b&q and left the waste with them (they had recycling bins in the car park although not actually big enough to take the bottle it was left next to it)

I do that with e-waste… Currys give you a voucher if you drop stuff with them. Used to be £5 off now it’s £10! Even an old LED bulb gets you a voucher.

Many thanks for all the info.

Yes sir

Just done mine. It wanted about 7.5 litres.
This is what I do as it’s a rough range not an exact amount. I’d normally top it up around the 5 litre mark, but kept forgetting. View attachment 312244

I normally fill up at the 5l mark but missed it this time. It now need 5.75 to 7l.

Approx’ £0.45 / L for bulk supply for marine / offshore.

Is it the same stuff? I'm trying to educate myself on all this.

That’s just more lines with the sharpie pen. Just draw an extra line between the 5 and the 7.5 and you’ve hit the ball park range.

Just read recent messages on Adblue and first top up.

I've just just put in 20 lites of Adblue 22241
rather than 22241-1 to my 2021 T6.1. Next you up 17500 miles. No warning messages.

Do I need to syphon off and put in correct Adblue?

I don't want a big bill for SCR issues.

No!
22241 is the parent document covering the spec of adblue
Part 1, I.e 22241-1 is the actual chemical spec of adblue ALL 22241 adblue meets this spec whether it’s labelled 22241 or 22241-1
The overall 22241 spec is divided into various sections.
-1 covers the actual composition
-2 covers the testing methods to ensure composition and quality
-3 covers transport and storage
-4 standardises the filling methods

Don’t overthink it.

I’ve started getting my ad blue from the pump and using wynns additive too

Glad you posted that, I was heading in the right direction and coming to the same conclusion (that the -1 wasn't important).

Yes. As long as it says it complies with ISO 22241.

-1 or not -1, it's all the same stuff.

AdBlue is about one third urea and two thirds de-ionized water. Nothing else as far as I’m aware. It’s not a complex mix so I imagine any half decent supplier could do it. Buy it from a reputable shop and you should be good.

Adblue is a registered trademark. To be labelled “AdBlue” whatever is in the container/pump must comply with ISO22241-1, the spec doesn’t allow for variations in quality or composition. Adblue is AdBlue is AdBlue, regardless of where you get it from or who makes it. It’s all exactly the same stuff.

But does it all taste the same?

Yup - just like the Castle Maine XXXX momma used to make.

Depends on year, I’ve heard the ‘23 is excellent…

I find it gets a bit gritty with age.

Just needs decanting and allowing to breathe, a bit like Brasso...
