My dealer service Tech said that the DEF system can become cogged/damaged with bad DEF fluid from non ford DEF. The Tech said to preserve the waranty, he suggested buying the DEF at the dealership...

IF you get bad DEF then the DEF company would be responsible. There is one major manufacturer that makes it (Terra Environmental Technologies) and they make it for the majority of brands and just rebrand the package.

I refill my Ford containers using the DEF sold at a Sunoco station @ $2.29 a gallon.

How much did your weight loss program end up costing you?

$2200, the special food for the program is fairly priced and that's with a down pipe back exhaust and the NO limit intake

Hey Guys, kind of new to this DEF topic as the last diesel I had was an 00 F-250 and never heard of DEF back then.

I just purchased a 2017 F-250 lariat FX4 and am awaiting delivery but have been reading up on the forums to try and pick up information about the new truck. i) What does DEF do for this 6.7 engine, ii) how large of capacity is the tank on the truck, iii) how often does one need to refill this DEF tank.

Yeah newbie questions.

Thanks

I have on 02 F250 as well as a new 2017. You'll love the improvements. Here's a Youtube video that can explain the DPF and DEF system to you better than I can.
Congrats on the new truck. It will take the better part of a month to get accustomed to all the gadgetry. It's been almost a year for me and I'm still getting used to it, but I'm slow, or so says my 12 year old daughter.

Pilot truck stop DEF at the pump. Got 8000 miles out of my last tank of DEF. cheaper this way too

 

[CCstroker350]

So how much is your Ford dealer selling their special DEF for?

 

[CVO]

I buy the 2.5 gallon jugs at Walmart for $11.

Urine is also urea diluted with water, so if you're really looking for the cheapest option....

 

[jetjock15]

I go with the cheapest. This crap is dumped in your exhaust not your engine so my care factor is low.

A guy I work with and this is from him.. His Duramax has a def related issue and was told if super tech def is used that they would void his warranty. I’m not going to try it out, it Peak Blue . Been debating on using Maverik as it is a bit better than buying jugs.

 

[JSolve]

Blue Peak DEF; about $13 at Pep Boys.

My buddy with a Dura max uses only dealer stuff cause he thinks this too. I couldn’t see ford denying warrenty over the def brand. Maybe I need to read the fine print. What a chicken versus egg deal. Only reason I keep def is to maintain warrenty. If they then said my def fluid is what then voided my warrenty they would get slapped, then sued. And I’d immediately tear the garbage tree huger liberal crap off truck. Win win

I have a friend with a 2016 Duramax. He's had nothing but problems with the DPF when using anything other than GM's brand DEF fluid. They didn't threaten to void his warranty, however, he's tired of driving a subcompact loaner car, so he just pays the fiddler and buys the GM DEF.

:surprise: $65 for a gallon??? :surprise:

I paid $25 for (2) 2.5 gallon containers = 5 gallons from the dealership.

Catch Blue Def while on sale from one of those big box auto stores. Usually can get a buy 1 get the other 1/2 off and such which equates to like 11 bucks or less for 2.5 gallons.

Blue Def (and probably others) has a shelf life of 2 years provided it is stored between 12*F and 90*F. Keep it out of sunlight. So if you run across a good deal, then you can stock up.
