What is the total range you are getting with adblue? I got my 2400km to empty adblue warning when the odo is at 2200km. So the range for me seems to be ~4500 km

I don't remember exactly, but the warning came around the 5000 KM mark. I have driven ~600KMs after that and it is now showing 1666 KMs to refill. Hope it answers your question. Also, this is the first time I will be refilling.

It should be fine to do so. Even I was planning to switch when need arised but right now, with a realistic range of 7k kms easily, I am managing to use Toyota fluid itself. Yes the cost of Toyota Adblue is expensive, but its something like 1k rupees to fill up every 10k kms. And the other issue with Adblue is its short shelf life. Hence if we get a 20L can and use only 10L for a year, the rest has to be disposed, which is again dangerous.

So if you get a 20L can, keep in mind to completely use it by a year. Other wise, get a different brand if not Toyota and in smaller quantities. Shortly with BS6 diesels getting more common, we might see Adblue dispensers in Petrol bunks.

Most roadside mechanics have ad blue available and can refill it for you. But it’s just 560 for a 20 litre drum means buy it and keep it tightly shut in a cupboard for later use.

Do check in the bunks. Reliance also has this, as per display at the bunks.

Regarding the 20L container - do check if there is an expiry date on the can.

[Slushmaster]

Thanks @audioholic @Hserus @Condor! Will Certainly check the Reliance fuel stations for future, as of now getting the 20L bucket and after refiling, the remaining fluid will go into two 10L containers. Thanks again for all the Help.

My 1 week old fortuner 4WD MT did DPF regeneration 4 times in the 1200 kms highway trip over the weekend.
It's triggering an automatic regeneration once it hits 4 bars on the scale and it gets there in roughly 300 kms.
Is this the case with the automatic too?

My two month old Automatic 4WD also did auto regeneration three times between Mumbai and Hyderabad.

We drove sedately and didn't cross 110. What surprised me was the regeneration was triggered at 3 bars. Am not sure if this is normal. The car has done a total of 2,500 KM.

While on the way to Mumbai (from Hyderabad) the regeneration weren't this frequent. The only point of difference was at Hyderabad i had filled in Diesel at a COCO pump while in Mumbai it wasn't a COCO pump (but a pump well within city).

.

The earlier DPF regenerates, the healthier the filter would be. Hence it is normal and even in my Crysta it happens much sooner than 300kms. As the DPF gets more clogged, it takes more time to regenerate the filter and the amount of regeneration would not be 100%. Hence if it triggers at 3 bars, it would be done in five minutes. If it reaches the manual regeneration stage I believe that would take more than 20 minutes.

In the initial 5K - 7K KM, I did not face any issues, the vehicle would manually regenerate without issues.

Most of the issues occurred post 7K.

Any updates here? Eventhough my Fortuner (2200km on ODO) is regenerating DPF well automatically at ~250-300km, I am keeping my fingers crossed and waiting for any update from your side.

Saw this at a Toyota ASC, thought this might come in handy to all the frustrated BS-6 Toyota owners.

@admin : if such a post already exists then please delete it.

Adblue is adblue, buy it from anywhere. If you get a twenty litre bucket keep the rest of it for your next fill, or top it up midway.

You can buy five liter cans on Amazon but they seem costlier. Some fellow is selling a five litre can for 770.

Had to fill Ad blu from Toyota dealership as I was unable to find a viable option. They have 5 litre Cans available for 449 rupees. Total fluid filled/ consumed was 8 litres for ~6500 KMS of driving. Toyota charged 960 rupees for the refill.




I think the 20 litre bucket is going to be more economical in long run. Refilling is super easy and the Can provided by Toyota has a spout and can be easily attached and used for no spill refills.

100% just buy adblue from any petrol pump or oil / lubes / car parts dealer.

Just keep the 5 litre can around due to its handy spout and refill it periodically from the bucket.

That is your problem, not the fuel.
Pune to little ahead of Solapur is a gentle slope where your exhaust was cold, in the opposite direction the continuous gentle grade pushed heat down your pipe and it regenerated automatically,
