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.

Good to know; the Peak is $11.88 and the Super Tech is $7.88, both are 2.5 gal jugsRon3rd wrote:

On the one hand, the recipe for DEF is fixed in the law like no other product. The result is that one brand is identical to the next. No "secret ingredients" or "special sauce" is allowed.
On the other hand, some retailers have fallen prey to disreputable customers buying a jug, filling their truck, putting tap water back in the jug, then returning it for refund, with the result that when you go to the store, you need to check that the container still has intact factory seals, and if it does not, don't buy that one.
Other than that caveat, buy the cheapest you can find; it is all the same. Really.
aqueous urea solution made with 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water.- Use that or pump DEF. No issues so far.
- Deadbeats at Walmart switch oil filters and boxes, IE, put a $10 premium oil filter in a $3.00 econo filter box.
I always check them before I buy! - No end to what low lifes will do to save a buck. It happens AND I have been a victim of buying new oil in the 10 quart bottle and when opened found that it was used.
- Thanks for the info!

I can't imagine many people would try pulling that over an $8 jug of DEF.- Been using it for 2 years.
