When does AdBlue need to be topped up?

Depending on the vehicle manufacturer and model, a full tank of AdBlue varies between 3,000 to 20,000 miles although it is advisable to have fluid levels checked during your routine vehicle service.

There are a number of factors to consider when working out how many miles a litre of AdBlue would last for – typically, it should last between 350 – 600 miles though, depending on your vehicle and how economically you drive.

Vehicles are equipped with a dashboard warning light that alert users when their AdBlue fluid is below the minimum requirement.

It is VERY important that these warnings are not ignored – if your vehicle is below the minimum requirement, we strongly advise to have the AdBlue topped up.
