I used my Ford fill spout.

I've seen the SuperTech brand at my local Wally too. Last time I filled, I bought the name brand stuff, Polar Blue I think it was? Anyway, is there any reason to go namebrand or is def one of those things that there's no sense paying extra?

It's all manufactured at the same plant I'm sure. So why pay more for the name brand? Case in point, Motorcraft doesn't make their own oil for example.

Chances are the supertech brand is made by 1 of the big suppliers anyways. To my knowledge def is all pretty much the same might find certain brands might be more pute than others. I was watching on a cummins forum the other day a guy who bought a brand name def fluid from walmart that had been expired and he only bought that brand because he was going on a trip and thought the more expensive would be better than super tech which he usually buys.
