I just did an oil change in my '2013 Passat and filled up the ad-blue tank. My consumption of DEF fluid is less than one quart in almost 5,000 miles.
This is about the same or a bit less than what my car was using since Day 1 when I bought the car new.
I thought post-fix the DEF fluid consumption was supposed to go up. My car had the fix in 2017 and I have since seen the DEF consumption go down if anything.
Is my driving style (driving gently, light throttle, maximizing mpgs) a possible explanation?
