DEF: Peak Blue vs Motorcraft
Any difference (other than the fact that Blue is 1/2 the price of the Ford brand and has free delivery via Amazon Prime--even to Alaska) between the two DEF brands? Picked up a 2013 F250 with 13k miles; have put on 1k in 4 weeks but no DEF notification...yet. Just planning ahead; thanks so much for the advice on this board--all comments/opinions are greatly appreciated!

buy the ford spout. It will fit the blue def containers. It is designed to stop when full so you won't overfill or spill it.
The nozzle has to seat in the fill spout correctly though.

It's all the same goat pissed mixture. I picked 2 jugs today at NAPA and got sticker shock. I'm saving these jugs and making a trip to Flying J next time to buy from the bulk pump. Next time I'm up that way, I'll top the truck off and fill the jugs which should be enough to last me 6 months.

I bought it with a jug and then kept the spout. So I really don't know if you could buy separately.
On edit it would appear you can buy them separately

That was my plan too. I bought a jug at the Ford dealer to take on our trip. The jug didn't have a spout in it and when I asked that's when the parts guy told me Ford doesn't supply a spout with the jug any more. But I'd still like to get one.

There are only a couple of companies that actually produce DEF, then bottle it for companies like peak and motorcraft and blue DEF, and also make the stuff at the pumps in the truck stops.
It's all the same stuff.

I have purchased two spouts from Ford. One to keep in my garage and the other in trucks tool box. Yes Ford sells the spouts the two I purchased were from two different dealers.

Will the Ford nozzle work with the 2.5 gallon jug?
