The Carlube Adblue 5 Litres Diesel Fluid Additive is designed for owners of modern diesel vehicles equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. Its primary benefit is reducing harmful Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions, contributing to a cleaner environment and potential fuel cost savings. A key consideration is ensuring your vehicle is compatible with AdBlue and that you use the correct additive to avoid system damage.

AdBlue is a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) that reduces harmful NOx emissions from modern diesel engines equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. It's required to meet stringent environmental regulations.
Most diesel cars manufactured after 2015 (for EURO VI compliance) have an SCR system and an AdBlue tank. Check your vehicle's manual or look for an AdBlue filler cap, often located near the diesel fuel filler.
The frequency depends on your vehicle model and driving style. Your car will typically provide ample warning when the AdBlue level is low, usually giving you several hundred miles of range before it needs refilling.
No, absolutely not. AdBlue must only be put into the dedicated AdBlue tank. Putting AdBlue in the diesel tank can cause significant damage to your fuel system and engine.
If you run out of AdBlue, your vehicle's engine performance may be reduced, and in many modern vehicles, the engine will not restart once switched off until the AdBlue tank is refilled.
Yes, AdBlue has a shelf life. When stored correctly (cool, dry place, sealed container), it typically lasts about 12 months. Exposure to extreme temperatures can shorten its lifespan.
Carlube Adblue is produced to the ISO 22241 standard, which ensures it meets the required purity and quality for all SCR systems. Therefore, it is interchangeable with other AdBlue products that also meet this standard.
This often indicates a low AdBlue level. Refill the AdBlue tank according to your vehicle manufacturer's instructions. If the light persists after refilling, consult your vehicle manual or a qualified mechanic.
Wipe up any spills immediately with a damp cloth and rinse the area with water. AdBlue can be corrosive to some materials if left untreated.
AdBlue freezes at approximately -11°C (12°F). Modern SCR systems are designed to manage this, often with heating elements. Avoid storing the fluid below freezing if possible. If frozen, allow it to thaw naturally before use.
Never put AdBlue in the diesel tank, or diesel in the AdBlue tank. If contamination occurs, do not start the engine. Consult your vehicle manufacturer's guidelines or a mechanic immediately, as the SCR system may require flushing.
Compatibility: Carlube Adblue is suitable for all vehicles equipped with SCR systems designed for diesel exhaust fluid, typically those meeting EURO IV, EURO V, and Euro VI emissions standards. Always verify your vehicle has an AdBlue tank and is compatible before purchasing.
Setup: No setup is required. Simply pour the AdBlue fluid directly into the dedicated AdBlue tank in your vehicle. Ensure you use the correct aperture; it is often blue and distinct from the diesel fuel filler.
Care: Store the AdBlue container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. AdBlue is sensitive to extreme temperatures; avoid freezing and excessive heat. Keep the container sealed when not in use. Ensure no contaminants enter the fluid or the vehicle's AdBlue tank during refilling. After use, rinse any spills with water. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
