FAQs

What is AdBlue?

AdBlue is a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) that helps to reduce harmful emissions produced by diesel vehicles. It's made of urea and deionised water and interrupts chemical reactions within your exhaust system.

While your car's engine is running, tiny amounts of AdBlue are squirted into the exhaust. These react with the harmful Nitrous Oxide (NOx) gases, turning them into Nitrogen and water. It works alongside your Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to reduce NOx emissions by up to 90%!

 

Why Does My Car Need AdBlue?

If you drive a diesel vehicle built after 2015, you need AdBlue to comply with the Euro 6 emissions regulation. As a result, these vehicles won't run without this fluid because it's as integral as diesel. Not only that, but you need AdBlue to ensure your vehicle passes the MOT emissions test. Failing this test results in an automatic failure!

If your car runs out of AdBlue, it will enter 'limp home' mode. This reduces engine power and performance to limit emissions and can cause untold stress and uncertainty as you plot how to get home.

 

When Should I Top-Up My AdBlue Tank?

You should top up your AdBlue tank when you notice the dashboard warning light. This comes on to let you know your vehicle has less than 1,500 miles of fluid left. Leaving it too long can cause severe problems, especially if you completely run out of AdBlue.

In terms of distance, a full tank should last at least 6,000 miles. For the average driver, this means topping it up once or twice a year.

 

What is the Price of AdBlue in the UK?

AdBlue prices fluctuate due to production costs and supply and demand. In recent months, some drivers have seen record costs due to the shortage of oil caused by global events.

All this means that AdBlue can cost anywhere from £8 for a 5l container to £20 for a 10l container.

The price of AdBlue when bought through BookMyGarage costs £20 for up to 10l. This always includes a technician filling your tank for you.
