Diesel Exhaust Fluid Usage

Shell Rotella® DEF is offered in a 2.5 gallon container and may be used in any vehicle diesel emission system using SCR technology requiring DEF. DEF usage depends on fuel usage, load of the vehicle, and the level of emissions the engine design naturally produces. On average, a usage rate of 1-2% of diesel fuel use is expected.

In light duty, the EPA requirement for DEF systems is a minimum of 4,000 miles between fill up of tank. Light duty car manufacturers often target a DEF fill up with an oil change for diesel pickups about every 5,000 to 7,000 miles.

Shell Rotella® DEF diesel exhaust fluid is part of a family of Rotella® diesel engine oils, Spirax® transmission and gear oils, Gadus® grease and other Shell lubricants to meet your equipment needs.
