Most affordable DEF?

I just purchased a diesel. I went to autozone and bought the 2.5 gal blue def. It was like $16 or $17

Is there a more affordable way/location of buying def?

I use this vehicle for business and average 200-300 miles per day so I will need to add pretty often.

Walmart, it's 6.88 for the 2.5 gallon of SuperTech. The next cheapest is at the truck stop, it was 1.89 a gallon yesterday.

Thank you. Walmart it is!

Yeah I felt like I was on BookFace for a minute and I was waiting for him to say he was adding it to his fuel tank on his 7.3L; along with all the ATF the guys on FB are running in their tanks.

I'm guessing he has a newer diesel and just ended up here somehow.

Oops. It's the forum that I'm used to. Selection by habit.

In addition to my Superduty I have 2 more oil burners (Sprinter motorhome and TDI) and they both use DEF. I wish there was a better (legal) way, it's kind of a pain. Unless you count my wife's car I am now gasoline free. Most important to me is making sure I only get fresh DEF as it does have a shelf life and the heat where I live is not ideal for it. Funny thing is the PSD has 2.3 liters more displacement than the other 2 put together.

The date code is right on the containers. It's two years from manufacturing.
