- When I bought this in August of '23, I was new to diesels and especially AdBlue/DEF. I have had some issues with the DEF System. I hope this video helps folks that are new to the DEF World as well.
Quick video on how to add AdBlue or DEF to the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover L405 Td6.
I have always used the 2 1/2 gal jugs from my local auto parts store, but these 1/2 gallon containers have a self sealing valve and a screw on nozzle. It is a much quicker and cleaner. Almost worth the $24/EA that they ran me delivered.

Also a quick foray into how to check the oil level without waiting 10 minutes - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Hi! after you refill the adblue, any action should be done to remove the error from the panle? first time having RR and first time facing the ADBLUE and long trip is planned over the weekend.
Which error did you get?
If you have a GAP IID you can remove the faults. Without a GAP it *should* reset itself after about 30 miles and a couple of key cycles.
Note that this is based on my experience. I don't want you to get stranded. Can you drive it around the house some before the big trip?
how do we 'measure' or know the remaining def level without a gap tool and if the service menu is inaccurate? Last month it suddenly ran low and give me 250miles warning even though the service menu said ~4k DEF left....
I don't have a great answer on that. I will see what I can find. I'm not saying that the sensors are completely wrong, I just think they throw red herring errors. Rather than saying DEF low... It says Quality error. If you look in the service menu and it has 7500 miles on DEF, I think you are fine.
I will fill mine when I get home and report the mileage back.
'They' say to not overfill the DEF, but I have not had a problem with it overfilled. I say fill it to the brim!
Re-read that on the laptop (I don't do well on the phone). That is quite a discrepancy - you may have a different issue. I think that my service menu saying (right now) 6997 miles to Empty DEF is correct - or close to it. GAP IID says Overfilled - remove 3L and test again. When I was getting the DEF Quality issue the Service menu and the warning miles were counting down together. I just think that the DEF Quality Issue 250miles is the incorrect message. It could possibly be a message to scare you into taking it to the dealer... Friend of mine, his 2016 makes a bong he doesn't recognize and it is booked to the Indy - it's nice to have rich friends... I would recommend filling it until it bubbles out the top of the fill neck. That may take some doing - they appear to get airlocked quite a bit. I don't know if the fill level is detected ultrasonically or if it is a physical float sensor. If it is ultrasonic and you had an air bubble - it could have been reading the liquid level on top of the air bubble, whereas the nozzle wasn't getting head pressure... complete guess. Sorry I don't have a better answer.
@@JDWFolkart yes thanks for your reply. i have been to dealer and shops lots of times the past 2 years due to the quality countdown. the dealer said it was not really a 'quality' thing, which we all know. dealer said it is either too low or the computer sending the def is wrong (too fast or too slow, while too fast can create problems more). later last year, i stopped going to dealer (they told me their diesel mechanic left or maybe they dont want to deal with this anymore, IN forwayne) and i started to go to a shop much closer to me. eg, last week shop said the countdown last time was due to 'completely empty def tank'. it was a easy and relatively cheap fix. so i wonder how i can measure it using my hand as i dont trust service menu 100% now lol .. i read from forum before, like you said, the sensor is ultrasonic can measure bubbles, so now i will keep adding 0.5gal every 2 weeks.. also the engine light keeps popping on, i need to check it and i think its the stupid EGR flow low again.... i will try to reset it but if not working, i dont care as long as theres no countdown....are you in IN too?
Atlanta GA. My advice would be to get a couple of the screw on bottles and take your time. On the second bottle I removed it about 2 or 3 times, let it settle and then it took more.
From what you spent at the dealer, I think a GAP IID would be a good investment. I want to say $575 for 1VIN. In theory you should get 500 miles per liter. If you're going through double that, you may have a bad nozzle. Have you tried cleaning it? 30 min job on Ramps.
Also a lot of great info on fullfatrr.com and Facebook groups.
@@JDWFolkart good advice, last time i cleaned it was in 2022 Oct, i will take a look at nozzle too... that time the dealer replaced the nozzle while i was on a trip in Wisconsin and stranded... ripped off lol
Just use a funnel
Heeeyyyy!! A comment! I love it - thank you. Have you tried the 2.5 gal jug in a box with a funnel? The even make DEF funnels that are light blue, but you are lifting a 20+ LB thing at an odd angle. On mine it only took a trickle and I ended up spilling that nasty stuff all down the front fender (wing?). of the 2.5Gal, I bet 2ish made it in with the funnel. For me - $15 is well worth the price of the (now reusable) apparatus. Thanks again for weighing in! - JDW
@@JDWFolkart yes. I use a jug and a funnel so i can make sure i don't overfil.
@@gavinvale2865 for me - overfill has worked out much better than letting it run low. I don't think that .38 L is overfilled greatly. Thanks again for watching.
