Recochem H2BLU DEF in GLK 250

Hi Folks,

Can I put Recochem H2BLU DEF in GLK 250?

Will it hurt the car or is all DEF pretty much the same?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Chad

Any commercially available DEF fluid may be used, as long as it meets the ISO spec required for quality. You don't need to buy MB labeled "AdBlue", and there is no such requirement that I'm aware of.

I've used Peak Platinum mostly and also Tractor Supply branded DEF which is even cheaper. I have not tried the DEF dispenser pumps at the truck stops, mainly because I don't need to use the truck pumps to get fuel, but technically you could use that as well, if you happen to get that "AdBlue Level Low" message in the middle of a longer trip (unlikely).

Bottom line: see top line

Thanks Andre!

You've helped me before so thanks again! I'll look up the specs for Recochem H2BLU DEF and see if they are okay with the GLK 250.

Good to know. Thanks John. In the end I used ricochemm. It has the right ISO but not as good a price. Darn! I’ll know next time.
