Wal Mart's Super Tech DEF?

why would anyone pay more than $2.89 a gallon for this stuff????? I've been getting mine from the truck stops for years. There is no magic here in this stuff it is all the same. your truck likely shows you when you are within 1000 miles of needing it so there is plenty of time to get it. Also I've never shopped at a WM and never will.

One other thing ................ DEF has a shelf life. Go to truck stop they have it as fresh as possible. 2 years on the shelf and this stuff is useless.

Yeah, I fill up at the pump too from time to time. The WalMart 2.5 gal jug works out to be $3.15 a gallon, which is the best deal I've found other than the pump. I have no problem shopping at WalMart

Has anyone used the Wal Mart brand Super Tech DEF? If so, opinions?

Haven't used WAlly brand but I did use another cheap brand. I got repeated check engine lights for insufficient catalyst on a run to Minnesota and back. After that I drained the DEF tank and refilled with Peak Blue DEF. I haven't had a CEL since then.

It could be coincidence, but the few $$ savings isn't worth it to me now.

You either got old DEF, or DEF that was replaced with water. It had NOTHING to do with the brand.
ALL DEF is EXACTLY the same.

Yep, most likely old. The box was unopened so age was the most likely culprit. Like I said, it could have just been coincidence or some other factor. But, the track record I've had with Peak, the absence of issues using it, and the minimal cost difference doesn't make the cheap stuff worth the risk.

I only use Peak or fill up at the pump. piece of mind and not worth the problems that can evolve

Like I said one stop shopping seems to make the most sense as when my DEF info comes on I have a 1000 miles to get it. Pull into most truck stops and do it all at the pump.
