I just bought a jug of the Autozone brand DEF fluid as they don't have it in the convenient dispensable bottles anymore. Apparently they don't have it on their website, but it's the generic form of this. I've not yet had to top off my tank yet so I'd just like to make sure it's the correct juice. The jug has a hose on it. I can just stick it straight in the fill hole?

All DEF is 32/5% Urea blended with 67.5% water that is cleaned in a Reverse Osmosis unit, followed by softening and deionizing.

It's all good!

You can also save money if you ever travel by a busy truck fuel station. They have DEF dispensed form a nozzle (like fuel) at $2.50- $3/gal.
With a VW TDI jetta, it may not worth messing with filing storing it in a jar, but I may do it with my duramax- it is thirsty for DEF :)

DEF is DEF no matter were you buy or what the price is. There ain't no such thing as cheap inferior DEF. Got that? Buy it where the price is the best and forget about it This should be the end of discussion.
