DEF is the only thing needed to be put in the system! Everything else is just a gimmick to take your money. The only things extra that may be needed if a DEF system is, you may need to clean the DEF injector every to every other year, depending on miles/DEF used. It's like the premium DEF, vs. Walmart DEF. DEF is made to a specific standard, with nothing else. Try it if you have some extra money to burn. Better yet, send me the money it would cost for it so I could buy some bling for my rig!

Hmmm, it says it can also, somehow, reduce the amount of regens without explaining how it could possibly do it that when it is added to DEF? That's a red flag right there.

According to its Safety Data Sheet it contains 2-Butoxyethanol dissolved in Ethylene Glycol. 2-Butoxyethanol is a butyl ether of Ethylene Glycol. 2-Butoxyethanol is often used as a surfactant, which may explain how it might prevent deposits. It's also used in paints and household cleaners. In fact, it is apparantly the main ingredient in many household cleaners. Also approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a food additive. Ethylene Glycol on the other hand can be toxic. Ethylene Glycol is used in automobile antifreeze which might explain how it prevents DEF from crystallization and freezing. Dosing looks to be about 1-2 ounces of NüDef into a 2.5 gallon jug of DEF.

why?

I can't think of one reason to experiment with the most finicky , touchy subsystem on a modern diesel engine...

 

[KHargarten]

Because it's a pain in the ass to pull the injector and clean it.

That shouldn't be needed if the system is in correct working order. If you have to do that on a regular basis something is wrong.

I don't drive it much and the DEF crystallizes.
