I use Walmart or Blue Sky def at Atwoods. It is usually $6.99 and on sale every now and then for $5.99.

Truck stop pumps here in Texas are in the $2-3/gal range for DEF. Haven't blown up yet.

My dealer said to only use motorcraft which I have never seen at Walmart. It’s more expensive than the blue stuff I see on shelves. I have a 2017 f350 6.7 - does it matter which brand I use?

It does not matter. DEF has to meet a laboratory specification and has a specific gravity. It has only a few components...water and cow ****, so unless the Motorcraft stuff gets their **** from superior cows, it would be chemically the same stuff.

I use the Wal-mart brand of DEF. When the gauge goes below half I add a full jug. No spills, no issues. The one time I was going to fill DEF at a truck stop, there were out.

At least they had diesel!

I’ve used the BlueDEF on my 3 diesel trucks with no issues at all. I can get it at Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowe’s.

Bulk DEF is 139 here for 55 gallon drums as of this morning. I was placing a fleet order and confirmed the 139.00 was not a fleet only price. So if anyone needs quantity call your local oil supplier. Brand was Either Vulcan or Sinopec depending on supply.
