AdBlue brand?

[Manc Rick]

After the episode back in December with the AdBlue tank, i don’t want to take any chances but I’m wondering whether there is any difference between AdBlue brands? I tend to stick with OE for most things, but I’m thinking that AdBlue is AdBlue and so brand doesn’t matter? Is that right or should I buy the MB AdBlue?

TIA

I’d follow the general advice here which is what ever you buy, just make sure it has a recent date of manufacture. I’d also say just get what you need, any left over over bin it.

I used to get Halfords/yara or something. It came in clear tubs and then they started packing it in large Jiffy bag type things. I thought it was good as ad blue is said to be best stored out of direct light but, even those bags leak around the lids, so I don’t trust the air tightness.

I think a few different companies make ad blue but, I can’t see any of them making any changes to final product like petrol for example.

Since draining and refilling with anti crystallisation additive about 3,000 miles ago, let me touch some wood, I have had no issues, that I was getting no weekly with the ad blue related warnings. I have also left it alone not keeping it topped up.

I will siphon and refill the the system with the additive in a few months. That way it’s changed circa 5,000miles and within a year of last doing it.
