Filled up the disco sport with ad-blu from the BP service station on the princes freeway in Avalon.
Could not have been easier!!
Nozzle fits exactly, no drips.
Not buying the drum again.

Hey all,

Since this original post I have filled up a further 3 times, mainly at the Avalon BP stations as I pass these regularly.
I have seen many service stations in and around the city now have adblue pumps.

I can only reiterate it is relatively fast and no harder than topping up the water. I usually just add 10l to the Disco sport when it tells me to top up.

I can not fathom a need for me to every stuff around with bottles etc again but I do appreciate not everyone has such convenient access to the pumps.

Gents,

At 17408 kms on the SD4 I'm averaging 600k/litre (assuming the tank was full at new) vs the 800k stated in the manual. 50/50 city and highway driving. Interested to see what other SD4's are doing.

On that, can someone enlighten me on what sort of driving and or speeds affect the usage for good and bad?

I ask because a colleague at work has an MY18 RRS TD6 that does similar mileage, routes and driving style and it uses (or seems to use) a lot less.

Cheers.

Mark

Can't help with the figures on a SD4 but in my TD6 I am on track for around 650km on a litre. Mainly city driving and once a week on average up the motorway.
